Will an ovarian cyst go away on its own? Women must understand

Cysts can occur in many parts of the human body, and the incidence of ovarian cysts in women is relatively high. According to experts, most ovarian cysts will disappear on their own, but women should not take it lightly and need regular check-ups after cysts occur.

1. Some women are very nervous when they find ovarian cysts during ultrasound examination. However, when they go for another ultrasound examination after a while, they find that the ovarian cysts have disappeared. They feel very confused and some even think that the ultrasound examination is inaccurate. In fact, some ovarian cysts do not require treatment and will disappear on their own after a period of time.

2. Ovarian cyst is a general term for ovarian tumor-like lesions and ovarian cystic tumors. Ovarian tumor-like lesions, also known as non-neoplastic ovarian cysts, mostly occur in women of childbearing age. They are not ovarian tumors, but a special cystic structure that can come from the ovarian follicles or corpus luteum, including follicular cysts, corpus luteum cysts, lutein cysts, etc. Among them, follicular cysts are more common, which are caused by the retention of follicular fluid due to the failure of mature follicles to ovulate or the persistence of atretic follicles; corpus luteum cysts are also more common and can be seen during the menstrual cycle and pregnancy. They are caused by the persistence of the corpus luteum after ovulation and bleeding, plasma exudation, and enlargement of the corpus luteum, thus becoming corpus luteum cysts; lutein cysts are more common in trophoblastic diseases such as hydatidiform mole, and are formed due to the stimulation of a large amount of chorionic gonadotropin, which causes the luteinization of theca cells. These cysts are small, usually 1-3 cm in diameter, and occasionally up to 5-6 cm in diameter. Most of these cysts will disappear on their own within two months and do not require special treatment.

3. These cysts generally do not produce obvious symptoms and are only discovered during gynecological examinations. Therefore, for ovarian cysts with a diameter less than 5 cm, patients do not need to worry or be afraid, do not need to take medication, and do not need to rush into surgical treatment. However, they should be followed up for 1-2 months and undergo regular ultrasound examinations. If the cyst disappears or becomes smaller, it is a non-neoplastic cyst. If it persists and increases in size, the possibility of an ovarian cystic tumor should be considered and surgical treatment should be performed.
