Patient's question:
Ultrasound detected an ovarian cyst. I haven't felt any discomfort, and my menstrual cycle 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 and likely to resolve on their own. However, it is necessary to monitor them for 3 months and follow up regularly. If they shrink or do not grow, they will usually disappear without the need for surgery. But since your tumor is too large, it 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 causes little pain and other side effects.
