A member asked:
When is the best time to have an ultrasound for ovarian cysts (complex). before the menstrual cycle or after? will there be any difference?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hemorrhagic cyst: I suspect you have hemorrhagic cysts that can arise in the context of ovulation. Bleeding into the follicle after ovulation is the most common cause for complex cysts. The best time to do a follow up ultrasound would be immediately after the menstrual period.
