Patient's question:
Today I had an ultrasound for ovarian cysts. The left one is 4 cm. My period is coming soon. This is the first time I had a detailed check-up and found an ovarian cyst. Is it serious?Doctor's answer:
It is generally believed that ovarian cysts are mostly benign conditions. Those smaller than five centimeters are recommended for surgical treatment or interventional treatment. For patients in this situation, it is advised to go to a regular tertiary hospital for diagnosis and consultation with experts. It is recommended to wait and see and conduct follow-up examinations at regular intervals. If the cyst continues to grow, surgical removal is recommended, followed by pathological examination. Ovarian cysts are a common gynecological condition that is prone to occur. During medication, women should pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients avoid sexual activity during the treatment period and pay close attention to cleanliness.
