Patient's question:
What does it mean when an ovarian cyst has echoes detected after careful examination? Is it better for an ovarian cyst to have echoes or not have echoes?Doctor's answer:
It cannot be simply said that ovarian cysts are better with echoes or without echoes. Most cysts that show no echoes upon careful examination are follicles, meaning they disappear after a physiological menstrual period. For most ovarian cysts, it is recommended to wait three days after the menstrual period before undergoing a careful examination to determine whether they are physiological or pathological. If the cyst is smaller than five centimeters and there are no symptoms, anti-inflammatory medication can be used first. It is not true that ovarian cysts always require surgery.
