Patient's question:
I am 38 years old this year. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was told I have an ovarian cyst. How should it be treated? I am very careful about personal hygiene.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 on ultrasound results. To determine if 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 method 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.
