Patient's question:
Last year, during a transvaginal ultrasound examination, an ovarian cyst was detected, but it was particularly small and primarily liquid-based. A few days ago this year, a color Doppler ultrasound revealed that the cyst had disappeared.Doctor's answer:
Hello, ovarian cysts can be classified as physiological or pathological. During ovulation, the ovary may appear larger than usual due to the growth of the follicle, which can easily lead to false positives on ultrasound results. To confirm whether an ovarian cyst is present, it is recommended to have a follow-up ultrasound examination at the hospital after the menstrual period has ended to determine the true size of the ovary. The treatment for ovarian cysts depends on various factors, including the patient's age, whether it is malignant, the location of the cyst, its volume, size, growth rate, whether fertility needs to be preserved, and the patient's personal preferences.
