Patient's question:
Ovarian cyst 6.5 cm, been like this for 3.5 years, it was always less than 5 cm before. Had some abdominal pain recently, ultrasound shows it's 6.5 cm now. Not sure if surgery is necessary.Doctor's answer:
Hello, ovarian cysts are mostly caused by pelvic inflammation. Surgical treatment is recommended only if the ovarian cyst is larger than 5 centimeters as detected by color Doppler ultrasound. Small cysts are advised to be treated with oral medication. A typical course of treatment lasts three months. It is recommended to follow up regularly, usually with a color Doppler ultrasound every three to six months. It is possible to develop cysts on the ovaries. It cannot be completely cured. Do not overworry. Irregular menstruation can be treated with menstrual regulation therapy.
