Patient's question:
I haven't had a comprehensive and thorough physical check-up for several years. A few days ago, I went with a friend, but during the uterine ultrasound, the doctor discovered a 3846mm ovarian cyst on my right side. I don't know what this means, as I still need to be pregnant. What should I do in this situation!Doctor's answer:
An ovarian cyst refers to a cyst-like mass that reappears in the ovary. Ovarian cysts are a type of ovarian tumor and can be either benign or malignant. Therefore, when an ovarian cyst is detected, the first step is to diagnose whether it is benign or malignant. Additionally, it should be noted that sometimes the ovary may undergo changes that resemble cysts but are not actually cysts, such as polycystic ovaries, corpus luteum cysts, and endometriosis in the ovary. Although these conditions may also cause lumps to form in the ovary, they are different from ovarian cysts. In fact, having an ovarian cyst is not at all. Patients should believe that they can overcome the disease. As long as symptoms are detected in time and treated accordingly, the chances of stabilizing the condition and recovering are very high.
