Most ovarian cysts are physiological, so few people experience symptoms. Common ovarian cysts include corpus luteum cysts and other ovarian cysts, which generally disappear naturally after two to three months. Therefore, if the ovarian cyst is not large, within five centimeters, and there are no symptoms, it is possible to temporarily observe it and perform an ultrasound after two to three months. If the cyst has not decreased in size or continues to grow, it may be an ovarian tumor, which would require surgical treatment. This is because if an ovarian tumor is left for a long time, it may become malignant or may lead to ovarian torsion.

How to check for ovarian cysts?

Firstly, in gynecological outpatient clinics, an ovarian cyst requires examination through a gynecological color ultrasound, which can clearly determine the presence of an ovarian cyst, or evaluate the size and echo of the ovarian cyst to assess the severity of the condition. Additionally, a gynecological examination can also be performed to confirm the presence of an ovarian cyst. The main purpose is to assess the severity of the ovarian cyst disease through palpation.

How is ovarian cyst surgery performed?

Currently, in clinical practice for ovarian cyst surgery, options include open surgery and laparoscopic surgery. The choice of surgery type needs to be based on the extent of the patient's ovarian cyst, the patient's wishes, and the size of the surgical area, which are all factors that should be integrated into the decision-making process. Furthermore, the specific implementation of the surgery also needs to consider the patient's age, the nature of the ovarian cyst, and the patient's wishes. Options available include ovarian cystectomy and salpingo-oophorectomy. If the tumor is malignant, a more extensive surgical approach may be required.

How to treat ovarian cysts?

The majority of ovarian cysts are physiological. If an ovarian cyst is detected for the first time during an ultrasound, it can be observed temporarily. Generally, such cysts will gradually shrink or disappear naturally after two to three months. If the cyst is relatively large, exceeding 5cm, and the ovary has not shrunk after two to three months of observation, but instead the cyst has grown, it is likely an ovarian tumor, which requires surgical treatment. If an ovarian tumor occurs, there is a potential for malignancy or torsion, so timely surgical intervention is necessary.

How to eliminate ovarian cysts?

Currently, most ovarian cysts in clinical practice require surgical removal. However, not all ovarian cysts need to be removed surgically. For some ovarian cysts, such as pelvic inflammatory cysts, anti-inflammatory treatment can be given first. After one course of anti-inflammatory treatment, the treatment effect should be evaluated. If the treatment effect is unsatisfactory, surgical treatment can be considered again. Furthermore, if the ovarian cyst is not large, it is also not indicated for surgical removal. Therefore, the severity of the condition needs to be assessed before treating an ovarian cyst.
