Patient's question:
I have a question and would like to ask you. Is an 8cm ovarian cyst serious? Thank you, doctor.Doctor's answer:
The harm of ovarian cysts is relatively significant. They can be classified as solid or cystic. The malignancy rate of cystic types is lower than that of solid types. They can also lead to menstrual disorders, irregular bleeding, abdominal distension and pain, premature ovarian aging, and other issues. There is a high likelihood of recurrence, such as pedicle inversion, tumor rupture, and subsequent infections or adhesions. If the tumor is within 5 centimeters, it may resolve on its own. However, your tumor is already 8 centimeters, so surgical treatment is still recommended.
