Patient's question:
Two months ago, I experienced frequent urination and hematuria. The doctor diagnosed a urinary tract infection, and after intravenous treatment, it improved. A color Doppler ultrasound revealed a 4.54 cm cyst in the left ovary. Now, I still have some discomfort with urination. Could you help me with the following questions: How can an ovarian cyst cause urinary obstruction? How is it treated? What is the canceration rate of ovarian cysts?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if the cyst diameter is less than 5 centimeters and there is no evidence suggesting a tumor, it is usually a functional cyst. Close follow-up is recommended, meaning a check-up every 2-3 months, and the follow-up interval can be adjusted based on the situation thereafter. If the cyst diameter is greater than 5 centimeters, it is more likely an ovarian tumor and generally requires surgical treatment. Pay attention to maintaining a relaxed mood. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
