A right ovarian cyst indicates the presence of an ovarian cyst on the right side of the uterine adnexa, which can be physiologic or pathologic.
1. Physiologic cyst: If the follicle is not discharged during ovulation or the corpus luteum is too large, it may manifest as an ovarian cyst. Usually there will be no clinical symptoms, only when the cyst is large, there will be irregular menstruation, abdominal pain and other uncomfortable symptoms. Physiologic cysts can subside on their own and can be rechecked 1 week after menstruation.
2. Pathological cysts: patients may have abdominal pain, abdominal distension, leucorrhea, menstrual disorders, dysmenorrhea, pain during sexual intercourse, etc. If the cysts are large in size, they may also compress the bladder, resulting in frequent urination and urinary urgency. Pathologic cysts do not subside on their own and need to be treated by surgery.
Therefore, after finding a right ovarian cyst during examination, it is recommended to seek medical treatment in time, and the ultrasound can be repeated after the end of menstruation to clarify the cause. If it is a pathological ovarian cyst, it needs to be treated promptly under the guidance of a doctor.
