Is the thickness of the ovarian cyst a bad thing?

The thickness of the ovarian cyst wall does not indicate whether it is serious. If it is a physiological ovarian cyst or a small cyst caused by inflammatory stimulation, it is not serious. If the cyst is large or it is a malignant ovarian cyst, it is more serious.

If the ovarian cyst is a physiological cyst with no other abnormal manifestations, it will generally change with the menstrual cycle and can be temporarily observed for 3 to 6 months. Most of them will disappear or shrink on their own. If this situation is not serious, no special treatment is generally required.

If the ovarian cyst is caused by bacterial infection or inflammatory stimulation, it is generally not serious and can be treated with antibiotics, such as cefaclor, amoxicillin, levofloxacin and other anti-infection treatments.

If the cyst is relatively large, larger than 5 cm, it may rupture or the pedicle may twist, endangering the patient's life. This situation is relatively serious and it is recommended to undergo surgical treatment as soon as possible, such as ovarian cystectomy, oophorectomy on the affected side, etc.

If the ovarian malignant cyst is severe, it may be life-threatening at any time. It is recommended to surgically remove the lesion and then give chemotherapy treatment.
