Generally not: Typically these types of cysts are benign and not worrisome however there are rare conditions that can be a problem therefore the reason your doctor is watching the size and appearance of these cysts.

Hello! I had a pelvic ultrasound (non transvaginal) and it showed a cyst on my right ovary of 4 cm. Are pelvic ultrasounds sufficient enough to show ovarian cysts without transvaginal? I turned the vaginal one. Doc wants to monitor cyst?
