Can abdominal ultrasound detect ovarian cysts?

In our lives, there are some patients with ovarian cysts. When they feel pain in the lower abdomen, they usually go for a B-ultrasound examination. However, the B-ultrasound examination image is not as clear as the color ultrasound. Although it is not so clear, it can also effectively see the location and size of the cyst. At this time, the patient can cooperate with the doctor for active treatment. So can abdominal B-ultrasound detect ovarian cysts?

Routine B-ultrasound examination is divided into digestive system (liver, gallbladder, pancreas and spleen), urinary system (bilateral kidneys, ureters and bladder), and gynecology (uterine appendages, etc.), depending on your physical examination items. If you check your gynecology department, you will definitely see it, otherwise it is the doctor's dereliction of duty.

Under normal circumstances, small follicles are formed during the ovarian ovulation period. Such cysts are physiological (pregnancy is impossible without them) and can disappear on their own. They are generally less than 3CM in size and no larger than 5CM. There is also a pathological type, such as ovarian chocolate cyst, ovarian cystadenoma, etc., which are generally larger than 5CM in size, cannot disappear on their own, and may twist to form acute abdomen, so they must be treated symptomatically. It is recommended that you have a B-ultrasound check-up and treat the symptoms after diagnosis. You should be responsible for your own body.

1. What is the reason for the left adnexal cyst to be anechoic?

The result of B-ultrasound examination shows that the left adnexal cyst has no echo, which indicates that there is a problem with the woman's ovary, which is probably caused by a cyst. The cause of this disease cannot be determined yet, but doctors say that it is closely related to the patient's mood, work and living environment, and life preferences, but has nothing to do with whether the patient is married or has given birth.

Although the left adnexal cyst without echo may be a cyst, it still needs specific analysis based on the patient's condition, and even further examination is needed for a confirmed diagnosis. In addition, ovarian cysts may slowly disappear on their own. You can take some medication first, and then wait three days after the menstruation is over before checking again. This will help to confirm the condition.

What are the treatment methods?

1. Take Western medicine

If the ovarian cyst is not serious, or if there is only a left adnexal cyst without echo symptoms and it has not been confirmed to be an ovarian cyst, you can take medicine to regulate your body first. Generally, doctors will prescribe appropriate medication based on your examination results. You only need to take the medication and follow the doctor's instructions.

2. Surgery

If the situation is serious and the symptoms do not improve after taking medicine, surgical removal is required. But patients don’t need to be too afraid. Nowadays, all surgeries are minimally invasive, the pain will not be too strong, and the damage to the body is relatively small. After the removal, just pay attention to rest and replenish nutrition.

3. Traditional Chinese Medicine

Nowadays, many female friends like to treat diseases through traditional Chinese medicine. This method is safer. In traditional Chinese medicine, ovarian cysts are caused by deficiency of qi and blood, and the condensation of heat-absorbing evil qi in the body. If you take western medicine at the same time as traditional Chinese medicine treatment, the effect will be more obvious. However, this also depends on the doctor's arrangements and advice.
