Can you do an ultrasound to check for uterine cysts during your menstrual period?

Patient's question:

In October 2012, during a check-up, a 7 cm uterine cyst was found. Due to financial constraints, the surgery has not been performed until now. Tomorrow, I plan to have an ultrasound, but my period has come. Can the examination still be done? Should surgery be performed? What are the estimated medical costs? Can it be reimbursed by medical insurance?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, an ovarian cyst is a relatively common benign gynecological tumor that can easily cause adverse symptoms such as endocrine disorders, menstrual disorders, and abdominal distension and pain. Oral contraceptives and traditional Chinese medicine treatments can be used. If necessary, ultrasound-guided interventional surgery can be applied with good effects. Daily hygiene care, scientific diet, postoperative use of anti-inflammatory drugs to prevent infection, and regular follow-up are recommended.
