Is a 22mm ovarian cyst serious?

Ovarian cysts are very common in clinical medicine. They will have a certain impact on women's bodies. If the patient cannot be treated in time, it may also cause other more serious symptoms. Therefore, for patients with ovarian cysts, timely treatment is the best way for them to recover as soon as possible. When treating or judging the severity of the patient's cyst, it is based on the patient's cyst volume. So what volume of cyst is the most serious condition?

Is a 22mm ovarian cyst serious?

The severity of a cyst is based on a 5-centimeter reference point. If a patient's cyst is less than 5 centimeters, the condition can be considered mild, but if the patient's cyst is larger than 5 centimeters, the condition is more serious. For example, a 22mmx18 cyst is more than 5 centimeters, so this condition can be considered more serious and requires immediate treatment, otherwise it may cause other more serious symptoms.

In terms of treatment, doctors will also formulate different treatment plans based on these two conditions. If the patient's cyst is no larger than 5 centimeters, then the treatment is mainly based on hopeful treatment, which is often called regular follow-up. If the patient's cyst has not changed during the follow-up, there is no need for treatment, just continue to observe. However, if it expands rapidly, the patient needs immediate treatment, and the treatment method is the same as that for patients with cysts larger than 5 centimeters. For patients with cysts larger than 5 centimeters, the treatment methods include surgery, minimally invasive surgery, physics, drugs, etc. Because there are many treatment methods, patients can combine their own preferences and the doctor's advice to decide the treatment method, which can not only make patients more actively cooperate with doctors, but also ensure the best treatment effect.

The treatment of uterine and ovarian cysts will be difficult, and with the continuous increase in the current medical history, the difficulty of treatment will continue to increase. Therefore, for patients with ovarian cysts, they should go to the hospital for medical treatment in time after diagnosis, so as not to delay the disease. At the same time, in order to have a good treatment effect, patients should also pay more attention to their diet and daily routine during treatment, and start from all aspects, so as to truly eliminate the problem of ovarian cysts from the root.
