Before pregnancy, I had a 5 cm ovarian cyst. Is it okay not to have surgery?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Ovarian cysts are classified as physiological or pathological. Physiological cysts undergo changes during the menstrual cycle, and under normal circumstances, they usually resolve or shrink on their own within 3-6 months. If the cyst is pathological, treatment should be symptomatic based on clinical manifestations and the size of the cyst. Generally, if the cyst is smaller than 6 cm, observation is recommended, with regular follow-up visits to the hospital. If the cyst is larger than 6 cm, hospitalization and surgical treatment are necessary. A biopsy and pathological examination should be performed after surgery to determine the nature of the lesion.
