Introduction
The cyst in the right adnexal region measures 67x48 mm, which is relatively large. Generally, an adnexal cyst refers to an ovarian cyst. Ovarian cysts are a common benign tumor of the female reproductive organs. They are classified into types such as mucinous cystadenoma, serous cystadenoma, benign teratoma, fibroma, and gonadoblastoma, among others. These cysts have potential for malignant transformation and are commonly found in women aged 20–50 years.

Adnexal cysts generally refer to ovarian cysts. Ovarian cysts are a common benign tumor of the female reproductive organs. They are classified into types such as mucinous cystadenoma, serous cystadenoma, benign teratoma, fibroma, and gonadoblastoma-containing tumors. These cysts have potential for malignant transformation and are commonly found in women aged 20–50 years.
A right adnexal cyst indicates a localized abscess-like mass, possibly due to pathological changes, usually associated with local inflammation. If left untreated for a prolonged period, it may develop into an abscess. It typically causes symptoms such as swelling and pain at the affected site. As the condition progresses, normal fertility function may also be impaired. However, if the cyst is physiological, it suggests a mild condition that does not cause significant impact. An ultrasound examination should be performed to confirm the size of the cyst.
Patients should maintain healthy dietary habits, lifestyle practices, and a relaxed mood. A light diet is recommended, including low-sugar foods such as oats and brown rice. High-protein foods such as fish and legumes should be consumed frequently. Spicy and irritating foods should be avoided, and intake of high-calorie foods and those containing saturated fatty acids should be reduced.
