How do ovarian cysts get diagnosed?

Dr. Paul Nowicki answered

Specializes in Gynecologic Oncology

Exam & imaging: If an ovarian cyst is big enough it may be felt by your doctor during the pelvic exam. A pelvic ultrasound will then confirm the presence of a cyst. Other forms of imaging, like ct scan or MRI will also show ovarian cysts
