Patient's question:
Today morning during the health check-up, when I had an ultrasound, it was found that there was a cyst in the left ovary, measuring 2321. The ultrasound doctor recommended waiting for 2-3 days after the next menstrual period to have a thorough examination. What should I do in this situation?Doctor's answer:
Ovarian cysts are a common disease among women of reproductive age. The cysts can be physiological (meaning they naturally disappear with the fluctuation of the normal menstrual cycle) or pathological (formed due to illness). Physiological cysts do not require surgery, while pathological cysts often need surgery for definitive diagnosis and additional treatment. You should first determine whether the cyst is physiological or pathological. It is recommended that you undergo another ultrasound examination. Currently, advanced diagnostic techniques such as color Doppler ultrasound, X-ray examination, and laparoscopy can help diagnose ovarian cyst inflammation at an early stage. Although ovarian cysts can easily become malignant, early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment can still prevent this.
