Can an ultrasound examination be performed on ovarian cysts during the menstrual period?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

The cyst is not large and can be treated with anti-inflammatory fluids. Ovarian cysts refer to a general term for cystic masses in the ovaries. The harm it poses to the body and its treatment depend on its nature. Generally, if the cyst diameter is less than 5 centimeters and there is no evidence of a tumor, it is often a functional cyst, which can be closely followed up, meaning an examination every 2-3 months, and then the examination interval can be adjusted based on the situation. If the cyst diameter is greater than 5 centimeters, it is often an ovarian tumor and generally requires surgical treatment. If it is accompanied by progressively worsening dysmenorrhea and dyspareunia, as well as painful nodules in the pelvis, endometriosis (also known as chocolate cysts) should be considered. Different treatments can be adopted based on specific circumstances.
