Patient's question:
I haven't had my period since November last year, and it hasn't returned until March this year. I initially thought it was just an irregular menstrual cycle and didn't think it was a big deal, but later I still felt something was off. In mid-last month, I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and the test report showed an ovarian cyst of 16 centimeters. Is an ovarian cyst of 16 centimeters considered large?Doctor's answer:
If a woman has an ovarian cyst, when its diameter is greater than 5 centimeters, it is considered a very large ovarian cyst. If you have a 16-centimeter ovarian cyst, this is definitely abnormal, and it will definitely cause severe abdominal pain again. Therefore, in this case, it is necessary to treat it as soon as possible through surgery to remove it. Otherwise, the symptoms in your body may be difficult to recover from.
