Patient's question:
Hello, I haven't been getting my period clean every time, so I went to the hospital for a transvaginal ultrasound today. The result showed a cyst about one centimeter in size on the right ovary. The doctor suggested I go for a blood test tomorrow morning on an empty stomach, and then surgery to remove it, waiting for the echo. Is this serious? I'm so scared.Doctor's answer:
Ovarian cysts are a common gynecological condition. Generally, if the cyst is no larger than five centimeters, conservative treatment or regular follow-up can be performed. Based on your current situation, it seems that the cyst is causing problems with your menstrual cycle each time. This is not a major issue, and it is recommended to follow the doctor's advice for surgical treatment. After the surgery, a pathological examination of the cyst should be conducted to determine its nature, and then there should be no further issues. Pay attention to rest well and avoid overexertion.
