What are the classifications of ovarian cysts?

Patient's question:

How is it necessary to do a CA125 test after an ultrasound carefully identifies an ovarian cyst?

Doctor's answer:

1, Functional cyst: This is the most common type of cyst. It usually disappears on its own within three months.
2, Hemorrhagic cyst: This type of cyst generally resolves on its own but takes longer. If the symptoms are more pronounced, medication can be taken to alleviate them. Only in rare cases, when the patient exhibits severe symptoms, surgical removal may be necessary.
3, Serous epithelial cyst and mucinous epithelial cyst: Surgical removal is required.
4, Chocolate cyst (endometrioma): Surgical intervention may be necessary.
5, Teratoma: It is best to have it removed early.
