Ovarian cyst 16cm needs surgery?

Patient's question:

Friend said she got an ovarian cyst, and it seems like the wound is quite large. She asked the general public on behalf of her, wondering if an ovarian cyst of 16cm is serious?

Doctor's answer:

An ovarian cyst measuring only 16 centimeters is not serious and may just be immature follicles that have not yet fully developed. In this case, there is no need for special treatment or resolution. Simply a follow-up ultrasound of the pelvic organs after one week is sufficient to check if the cyst has grown again. If it continues to grow, oral medication will be required for treatment.
