What are the procedures for ovarian cyst reexamination?

The follow-up examination of ovarian cysts generally requires color Doppler ultrasound examination, but if the ovarian cyst is a malignant tumor and surgery has been performed, the follow-up examination usually requires an ovarian tumor marker test, and if necessary, imaging examinations and internal examinations are also required, as follows:

1. Reexamination of benign ovarian cysts: Usually a color Doppler ultrasound examination is performed. You can also choose a vaginal ultrasound examination that does not require holding urine to find out whether there is a recurrence of ovarian cysts.

2. Postoperative review of ovarian malignant cysts: Routine pelvic and abdominal ultrasound examinations are also required, and blood tests for ovarian tumor markers are often required. Some patients need further pelvic CT and MRI examinations, internal examinations, and PET-CT if necessary. This can help understand whether the tumor has recurred or metastasized, as well as the extent of the metastasis.

Therefore, the nature and severity of each woman's ovarian cyst disease are different, and the items that need to be examined during the follow-up examination are also different. The doctor needs to make a decision based on many aspects.
