Patient's question:
Is the left ovarian cyst serious? I want to consult about whether the ovarian cyst is serious, what caused it, why do I have this disease, and I don't know what's going on. I want to get pregnant, but I have never been able to. Then I had a thorough examination and was told I have a left ovarian cyst. What should I do? Will it affect my ability to get pregnant? Is it very serious?Doctor's answer:
Ovarian cysts are a common disease among women of reproductive age. The cysts can be physiological (meaning they naturally disappear with the fluctuation of the normal menstrual cycle) or pathological (formed due to illness). Physiological cysts do not require surgery, while pathological cysts often need surgery for definitive diagnosis and additional treatment. First, you need to determine whether the cyst is physiological or pathological.
