Patient's question:
Yesterday, the unit organized a physical examination. I chose the pre-pregnancy checkup package. The ultrasound revealed an ovarian cyst.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 in ultrasound results. To determine whether an ovarian cyst is present, it is recommended to have a follow-up ultrasound examination at the hospital after menstruation to accurately assess the true size of the ovary. The treatment for ovarian cysts depends on various factors, including the patient's age, whether the cyst is malignant, its location, size, growth rate, the desire to preserve fertility, and the patient's personal preferences.
