Patient's question:
Main symptoms: Onset time: Laboratory test results: Right ovarian cyst 3.7×3.5Doctor's answer:
Hello: An ovarian cyst refers to a cystic mass formation within the ovary, which can be categorized into two types: tumor-related and non-tumor-related. The most common type of ovarian cyst in women of reproductive age is functional ovarian cysts, such as follicular cysts, corpus luteum cysts, luteinized cysts, and polycystic ovaries. These are caused by excessive physiological responses due to endocrine dysfunction, insufficient luteinizing hormone secretion, or drug stimulation.Once an ovarian cyst is detected, it is important to determine whether it is tumor-related or non-tumor-related as early as possible. The diagnosis can be confirmed based on the growth rate, size, and characteristics of the tumor, as well as corresponding examinations.
If it is the former (tumor-related), early surgical removal should be performed regardless of whether it is malignant. If it is the latter (non-tumor-related), observation can be initiated first, followed by regular follow-up examinations.
It is recommended that you undergo ultrasound, MRI, and other relevant examinations at a Class III-A hospital to obtain a clear diagnosis. After the diagnosis is confirmed, treatment should be administered under the guidance of a doctor in a reasonable and standardized manner.
