Patient's question:
In 2012, the physical examination reported a 1.9 cm diameter hypoechoic mass in the left ovary. The doctor said it might not be a cyst, and no follow-up examination was conducted. The results from the physical examination on May 27 of this year showed that the left ovary was not purely cystic (dense punctate strong echoes, size 3.73.63.2cm). There are no specific symptoms, but after receiving the results, I always feel discomfort in the left abdomen. Married, with children.Doctor's answer:
If there are no symptoms and the cyst is still small, it is necessary to continue monitoring. If the ultrasound is not performed immediately after the end of the menstrual period, it is best to repeat the color Doppler ultrasound within 2-3 days after the next menstrual period to rule out physiological cysts. If the cyst disappears, it is considered physiological. If the cyst persists, a follow-up ultrasound should be conducted in 3-6 months, along with the examination of tumor markers such as CA125.
