Patient's question:
Hello, I am 21 years old. An ultrasound examination revealed a cyst in the left adnexal region, measuring 43mm41mm. I would like to consult whether this is relatively large or small. It has been there for a year. How should it be treated? Recently, I have been experiencing abdominal pain and lower back discomfort. My last menstrual period was on the 25th of last month.Doctor's answer:
Ovarian cysts are a type of ovarian tumor and can affect women of all ages, but are most common in women aged 20-50. They are mostly benign tumors, with only a very small number being malignant. Close follow-up can be conducted, meaning check-ups every 2-3 months, and the interval time can be adjusted based on the situation. If the cyst diameter is greater than 5 centimeters, it is more likely to be an ovarian tumor and generally requires surgical treatment.
