Patient's question:
I went to the hospital last Sunday to get an ultrasound. The ultrasound showed a 5cm cystic mass. The doctor prescribed Qilin Pills and Ba Zhen Granules. I didn't have any lower abdominal pain before, but now I'm experiencing intermittent lower abdominal pain.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 results in ultrasound examinations. To determine whether an ovarian cyst exists, 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 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.
