Patient's question:
In August, I went for an ultrasound because of irregular menstruation, and the result showed an ovarian cyst, measuring 3x3 cm. At the time, I didn't feel any pain, so the doctor didn't prescribe any medication and advised me to have an ultrasound every three months. Lately, I haven't had any symptoms, but today I started feeling a dull ache. Could it be that it has worsened? What is the most serious outcome? Can medication solve it?Doctor's answer:
An ovarian cyst refers to a cyst-like mass that appears in the ovaries, and the exact cause of its development is not yet fully understood. Ovarian cysts are a type of ovarian tumor and can be either benign or malignant. Therefore, when this condition is detected, the first step is to confirm whether it is benign or malignant.
