Patient's question:
How is an ovarian cyst treated? When I had an ultrasound, the doctor told me there was a fist-sized ovarian cyst inside. It seems that surgery is required. I don't know if it can be treated without surgery. If you know, please give me some advice.Doctor's answer:
An ovarian cyst refers to a mass that develops inside or on the surface of the ovary. The material inside the cyst is usually liquid, but it can sometimes be solid or a mixture of both liquid and solid. The size of an ovarian cyst is typically small, similar to a pea or a cashew, although some cysts can grow as large as a volleyball or even bigger. The recurrence of cysts in the ovary is a very common phenomenon. Most cysts are caused by changes in the normal function of the ovary, so the vast majority of ovarian cysts are benign.
