Do I need to hold my urine for an ultrasound examination of an ovarian cyst?

Patient's question:

Menstrual period is: March 8th-13th, April 11th-16th, May 17th-23rd, June 26th-July 1st. Generally it lasts for 6-7 days.
On June 12th, I took a menopause test paper. What help does it provide?
Today, I checked if I can take the test while holding my urine. Is it better to hold urine during a thorough examination or not?
How can an enlarged ovary be mistaken for an ovarian cyst during menopause?
If it is an ovarian cyst, what medication is used to treat it?

Doctor's answer:

The type of ovarian cyst you have generally does not require treatment. It is necessary to hold urine for a pelvic ultrasound. Based on your description, your condition requires a thorough ultrasound examination with urine retention. Without holding urine, the cyst cannot be detected. In most cases, ovarian cysts do not need treatment. The above is advice on this matter. I hope it helps you, and wish you a speedy recovery!
