Doctor's answer:
Ovarian cysts are a type of ovarian tumor in a broad sense, and they can affect women of all ages, but are most common in women aged 20-50. Ovarian tumors are common tumors of the female reproductive system, with various different properties and forms. Ovarian cysts refer to the general term for cystic masses in the ovaries, and the harm it poses to the body and its treatment depend on its nature. Generally, if the cyst diameter is less than 5 centimeters and there is no evidence suggesting a tumor, it is usually a functional cyst, which can be closely followed up, meaning a check-up every 2-3 months, and then the check-up interval can be adjusted according to the situation. If the cyst diameter is greater than 5 centimeters, it is usually an ovarian tumor and generally requires surgical treatment.
