Patient's question:
Ultrasound detected an ovarian cyst. I haven't felt any discomfort, and my menstruation is also normal. I don't know if surgery is necessary?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Ovarian cysts smaller than 5 cm are generally considered physiological, with a size of around 3 cm often being benign. They usually resolve on their own, but it is necessary to monitor them for 3 months and follow up regularly. If they shrink or do not grow, they will often disappear on their own without the need for surgery. However, your tumor is too large and is prone to various complications such as torsion, rupture, infection, or even malignancy. It is recommended that you undergo surgery for cystectomy and pathological examination as soon as possible. Currently, laparoscopic surgery is available, which is minimally invasive and generally does not cause significant pain or other side effects.
