An ovarian cyst actually refers to a cystic mass within the ovary. The exact cause is not yet clear. Ovarian cysts are a type of ovarian tumor, which can be benign or malignant. Therefore, the first step after discovering this condition is to confirm whether it is benign or malignant.Advice: I suggest you wait until your menstrual period is completely over before undergoing the examination.
