Patient's question:
Hello Doctor: Recently, my neighbor was diagnosed with an ovarian cyst. Could you please tell me what this disease is?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 positives on ultrasound results. To confirm whether an ovarian cyst is present, it is recommended to undergo 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 an ovarian cyst 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.
