Patient's question:
Duration of onset and persistence of this illness: Right lower abdominal dull pain for one weekAuxiliary tests: Ultrasound shows an ovarian cyst in the right adnexal region, measuring 40mm37mm
Doctor's answer:
It is possible to get an ovarian cyst without having sexual activity.Ovarian cysts can be physiological (meaning they naturally disappear with the menstrual cycle) or pathological (formed due to disease). Physiological cysts do not require surgery, while pathological cysts often need surgery for diagnosis and appropriate treatment. For women of childbearing age, if an ovarian cyst is found, the next step depends on the nature of the cyst. Ultrasound results are very helpful for diagnosis. For example, if ultrasound indicates a non-echoic cyst without septations, it is advisable to wait for 3 months and then repeat the ultrasound. If the cyst still exists after 3 months, surgical treatment should be considered. For most other types of cysts, they are typically pathological and should be surgically diagnosed.
