Is it serious to have an ovarian cyst?

Patient's question:

Breast cancer patient, 41 years old. Two days ago, an ultrasound detected cystic masses in both ovaries, measuring 4.3cm x 3.8cm and 3.5cm x 3.4cm. Do I need surgery? Nine days ago, an ultrasound showed measurements of 7.2cm x 5.9cm and 6.8cm x 5.4cm. They have now shrunk. Is the situation serious?

Doctor's answer:

Since there is such a significant difference between the results of the two careful checks, if the measurements from the ultrasound examination are incorrect, a cyst can naturally grow so much in just 9 days, suggesting it is a functional cyst, which generally does not require treatment. It is recommended that you follow up with regular reexaminations, closely monitor the changes in the cyst, and promptly take treatment measures under the guidance of a doctor if any abnormal conditions arise.
Lifestyle care: Pay attention to rest, avoid strenuous exercise, reduce stress and mental pressure, and maintain a positive attitude. Additionally, during the treatment period for ovarian cysts, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very important. Patients must pay close attention to their diet and eat more light foods to avoid unnecessary harm.
