Patient's question:
Yesterday I had an ultrasound, and it showed a 5037mm left ovary with slightly stronger echo areas inside, about 2825mm in size. Is this an ovarian cyst or cancer? Also, there's a 20mm fluid-filled dark area in the pelvis, which is pelvic effusion.Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your condition, it is considered an ovarian cyst. Generally, if the cyst diameter is less than 5 centimeters and there is no evidence of a tumor, it is often a functional cyst. Ovarian cysts are common tumors of the female reproductive system. The incidence rate is very high. They are most common in women aged 20-50. The most common type of ovarian cyst in women of reproductive age is a functional cyst, which is caused by an excessive physiological response due to the ovary itself or drug stimulation. If there are no other discomforts, pelvic effusion can be considered physiological. It can be temporarily ignored. If the effusion is caused by gynecological inflammation, active anti-inflammatory treatment should be administered. You can take Guizhi Fuling capsules internally, and for pelvic effusion, you can use Kingjindeng capsules. Follow up after one month.
