Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: I have had an ovarian cyst for several years. This time, the ultrasound showed that the size and position of the uterus were normal, while the sizes of the left and right ovaries were 2815mm and 6931mm, respectively. Multiple hypoechoic areas of varying sizes were observed in the right ovary, arranged in a mesh-like pattern, with the largest measuring approximately 2927mm, having thin walls and clear internal echo.The doctor recommended surgery, but I haven’t married yet, so I’m very worried. Could you please tell me if this examination result is serious? I would greatly appreciate your guidance! Thank you!
Doctor's answer:
Hello:The only treatment for benign ovarian tumors is surgical removal. For cysts with a diameter of less than 5 to 6 cm, observation for 3 to 6 months is recommended. If the cyst continues to grow, or if the tumor has a diameter of less than 5 cm but is solid, surgical removal should be performed. For children and young, nulliparous patients, unilateral oophorectomy or unilateral adnexectomy is often adopted. If the patient has bilateral benign ovarian tumors, the doctor may consider ovarian tumor enucleation to preserve as much ovarian tissue as possible, thereby maintaining menstrual and fertility functions. Laparoscopic surgery involves small abdominal incisions and a rapid recovery.
