Matted bowel loops
A cyst in the reproductive age group of size 3-5 cm what is the managem
Wait and watch
A cyst in the reproductive age group of size 5-7cm what is the managem
Follow up and usg
A cyst in the reproductive age group of size >7cm what is the managem
Surgery
Because of high chances of rupture and torsion
What is the management of the post menopausal women who is presenting with the cyst
We have suspect the malignancy even the usg shows no signs of it so we have to d0
CA125> 35 iu
Surgery after investigation
What is the management of the pre pubertal women who is presenting with the cyst
Check for alpha feto protein
Hcg
