Patient's question:
I started experiencing frequent lower abdominal cramps in the first half of the year. Once, the pain was so severe that I was rolling around in bed. Recently, I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said it was caused by 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 confirm whether an ovarian cyst exists, 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 method 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.
