At what size of a simple ovarian cyst in a postmenopausal woman , with an RMI of 100, is it possible to discharge the patient with reassurance?
A repeat assessment with CA 125 and TVS /TAS should be arranged in 4-6 months for cysts fulfilling ALL of the following criteria:
asymptomatic, simple cyst, < 5 cm, unilocular, unilateral.Â
If on follow up , the cyst resolves, the patient can be discharged. If the cyst remains unchanged, then repeat assessment should be done in 4-6 months.
