Transvaginal sonographic ovarian findings in a random sample of women 25–40 years old

Abstract

Adnexal lesions are common in asymptomatic women in the age group 25-40 years, but four out of five ovarian cysts disappeared spontaneously after 3 months. The ultrasound appearance of the cyst, the woman's family history and her own feelings must be considered if a persisting cyst is to be surgically removed or followed by repeated transvaginal ultrasound.
