Patient's question:
Doctor,A while ago, I was diagnosed with a right ovarian cyst, measuring 4.94.84.2 CM. The doctor told me that as long as there are no other adverse symptoms in my abdomen, it won't affect me, and advised me to have a cesarean section in the future so that I could also have the ovarian cyst removed at the same time. Could you please tell me if my symptoms are severe? Does it affect fertility?
Doctor's answer:
Ovarian cysts, simply put, are "bubbles" on the ovaries. Generally, they don't cause any issues. If torsion occurs, it may lead to abdominal pain, but it's usually not noticeable, so there's no need to worry. They rarely become malignant. Additionally, since this was just discovered, if you've never had one before, it's unlikely to suddenly grow to 4 centimeters. It's recommended to follow up after your next menstrual period. It might be a follicle, and after ovulation, if it ruptures, it will disappear, and everything will be fine.
