Can an ultrasound detect an ovarian cyst?

Patient's question:

My cousin has always had the problem of ovarian cysts and needs to go for regular thorough check-ups. Can a transvaginal ultrasound detect ovarian cysts?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, it can be carefully examined. Transvaginal ultrasound is clearer than a regular ultrasound. It is generally recommended to have the examination done between the 7th day after menstruation. If you are just undergoing a routine follow-up examination, you can opt for a regular ultrasound, which is cheaper than transvaginal ultrasound and can also achieve the purpose of follow-up. Pay attention to rest and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.
