What is an ovarian cyst?

Patient's question:

I am unmarried and childless. For the past two years, I have been experiencing frequent abnormal uterine bleeding, with a small amount of bloody discharge. My husband is quite concerned, so he went to a local hospital for a detailed examination. The detailed examination results showed that the doctor said it was an ovarian cyst, and it is on the left side. What is the situation with the left ovarian cyst?

Doctor's answer:

1. For women of childbearing age, if an ovarian cyst is found, the next step should be determined based on the nature of the cyst. Ultrasound results are very helpful for diagnosis. If MRI indicates that the cyst is anechoic (without echoes) and non-segmented, it can be observed for 3 months first. After 3 months, a detailed MRI check-up should be repeated. If the cyst still exists, surgery should be considered for resolution.
2. It is recommended to go to a local regular and authoritative hospital for a detailed examination and treatment. If the cyst still exists, surgery should be considered for resolution. For cysts other than these, in most cases, they are pathological and surgery should be performed to confirm the diagnosis.
