Do I need surgery for a 3 cm ovarian cyst?

Patient's question:

Because of the constant pain of the lower abdomen sinking, the detailed ultrasound examination result showed an ovarian cyst, measuring 3 cm. Is surgery necessary for an ovarian cyst that is 3 cm in size?

Doctor's answer:

From the results, the cyst appears to be relatively small, so let's wait and see how the menstrual cycle is disrupted. If the persistent pain continues, it is advisable to actively take blood-activating medications and other supportive treatments under the guidance of a doctor, and carefully monitor the situation for a period of time. Additionally, it is recommended to expose underwear to sunlight and sterilize it. Delay the visit to the hospital for a follow-up examination for a while, and if necessary, consider undergoing minimally invasive surgery. The above information can be used for reference.
