Checking for ovarian cysts before menstruation can lead to inaccurate results due to the presence of physiologic luteinizing cysts, which can be checked 3 to 7 days after menstruation has cleared.
Before menstruation, a woman’s high estrogen levels can stimulate the ovaries, which can lead to the presence of physiologic luteinizing cysts in the ovaries. If you go to check for ovarian cysts before menstruation, you may not be able to distinguish them from physiologic luteinized cysts, which may lead to inaccurate results. You can go for examination 3 to 7 days after the end of menstruation.
Examining ovarian cysts 3 to 7 days after the end of menstruation, when most of the physiologic luteinized cysts have disappeared, the presence of ovarian cysts is meaningful and therefore the results are more accurate.
If ovarian cysts are diagnosed, early and standardized treatment is recommended to minimize the adverse effects of infection, rupture, torsion and malignant changes caused by ovarian cysts. Consult your doctor for details.
