Surgery is not recommended for ovarian cysts. Usually, it is considered to be a functional ovarian cyst or a relatively small ovarian cyst, and the doctor will recommend surgery if the cyst is enlarged or suspected to be of a problematic nature. Functional ovarian cysts, also called physiologic cysts, are usually asymptomatic and most of them do not affect your health, and will grow and disappear on their own with the menstrual cycle, so surgery is not recommended, and regular checkups are usually sufficient. For some smaller cysts with only mild symptoms, this situation can be treated conservatively first, such as oral short-acting contraceptive pills, or use of sensitive antibiotic drugs in the case of co-infections for treatment, usually can be controlled. Surgery is a kind of traumatic treatment, if it can disappear on its own or be treated conservatively, surgery is usually not recommended, but in some cases, surgery is still needed, such as cysts ≥5cm in diameter, cysts that cannot disappear on their own after 3-6 months, faster growth, or rupture and torsion, etc., in this case, surgery can be performed. Ovarian cysts should be treated in strict compliance with the doctor’s instructions, and usually communicate more with the doctor.
