Patient's question:
Today morning, I went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said that I have a gynecological disease, which is an ovarian cyst. I'm very scared. Will this be ovarian cancer in the future? However, the doctor said that the ovarian cyst is very small.Doctor's answer:
The ovaries are called the "source of life and youth vitality" for women. If a woman's ovaries develop a disease, it will lead to the decline of her physiological functions, triggering a series of symptoms such as endocrine disorders, melasma, menstrual disorders, body shape changes, poor mental state, and sexual apathy. The size of ovarian cysts is usually small, similar to that of a pea or a cashew, and some cysts can grow as large as a volleyball or even bigger. Regardless of the size of the ovarian cyst, it should be taken seriously. Ovarian cysts are benign lesions of the ovaries and have no potential for malignancy. If they are small and show no clinical symptoms, they can be left untreated, as they pose no harm to the body. Regular follow-up is sufficient.
