Patient's question:
Previously, the hospital discovered an appendage cyst. Two years later, I went to the hospital for a check-up. The ultrasound results stated an ovarian cyst.Doctor's answer:
Hello, ovarian cysts can be classified as physiological or pathological. During ovulation, the ovary may appear slightly larger due to the growth of the follicle, which can easily lead to false results in ultrasound examinations. To determine 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 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.
