Patient's question:
One and a half months without a menstrual period, ultrasound shows a left ovarian cystic echo, size 2.3/20cm, CA125 is 53.75, the reference value is 35. Is this a malignant ovarian cyst? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
So large a cyst generally does not require treatment. Since you haven't had your period for one and a half months, I suggest you take some medication first and wait until your period comes before getting an ultrasound to check the changes in the cyst. Then, recheck CA125 to see if there are any changes. If the latter test results are normal, the cyst will resolve, and you will only need to have irregular follow-up ultrasounds. Generally, surgery for a cyst is indicated only if it is less than 6.0 cm.In addition to treating ovarian cysts, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a joyful mood at all times to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
