How is the normal size of an ovarian cyst calculated?

Patient's question:

I recently went to the hospital for a thorough check-up and found that I have a large ovarian cyst. I want to ask, what size is considered relatively normal for an ovarian cyst?

Doctor's answer:

The ovarian cyst is very large, referring to how big? If it is larger than five centimeters, surgical treatment can be considered. Currently, there is no need to take medication; laparoscopic surgery can be performed directly. The damage is smaller, and the cost is relatively higher, because there are no large incisions, so the recovery is relatively faster. If it does not exceed five centimeters, medication can be taken first and closely monitored. Although ovarian cysts have the possibility of malignancy, the majority are benign.
