Does an ovarian cyst of 44*48 cm require surgery?

Ovarian cysts that are larger than 5 cm generally require surgical treatment. If an ovarian cyst is 4.4*4.8 cm and affects daily life or has the risk of malignant changes, surgical treatment should be considered. Whether surgery is needed depends on the patient's actual situation. If the patient's ovarian cyst is benign and has no adverse symptoms, surgery can be avoided, but the doctor's advice should be followed.

Ovarian cysts are not very large at 4.4*4.8cm in size. B-ultrasound examination can be performed 3 to 7 days after menstruation to observe the nature of the ovarian cyst. If the cyst gradually decreases or even disappears with menstruation, it is generally a physiological cyst and surgical treatment is generally not required.

During regular checkups, if an ovarian cyst is found to be growing rapidly in a short period of time, it is likely to be malignant. After the doctor's diagnosis, surgical removal of the cyst should be considered to reduce the impact on the patient's body. If the patient has severe and frequent lower abdominal pain, it may be caused by a ruptured ovarian cyst, which also requires surgical treatment.

After the ovarian cyst is removed surgically, if the patient does not pay attention to care, it may recur. After the disease, it is necessary to adjust the diet, increase protein intake, such as milk, eggs, fish, etc., and cooperate with the doctor for reexamination.
