Patient's question:
Recently, I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with an ovarian cyst. However, I would say my lifestyle habits are quite good, yet I still ended up getting this condition.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 on ultrasound. To confirm whether an ovarian cyst is present, it is recommended to have an ultrasound examination at the hospital after the menstrual period has ended to determine 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.
