– Benign ovarian tumors develop in the ovaries without being cancerous. While they usually don't cause serious problems, they may need surgical removal if they cause symptoms or grow in size.

Diagnostic Methods:

– Ultrasound: Ultrasound helps visualize the ovaries and identify the nature of the tumor.

– Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): In some cases, it may be required to better characterize the tumor.

Treatment:

– Monitoring: If the tumor is small and does not cause symptoms, it can be monitored regularly.

– Surgical removal: If the tumor causes symptoms or increases in size, laparoscopic or robotic removal may be necessary.

Benign ovarian tumors are usually not dangerous, but it is important to monitor them closely for any changes. Early diagnosis and treatment helps prevent more serious problems.
