I believe 4 or greater is the number that starts ringing bells of concern.
Some doctors use a bit lower number. It is a potential screening tool, not
a direct indicator. 2.5 sounds good, (in my non-medical opinion). 2.5
plus digital examine and if digital does not locate any cysts, then likely
the doctor considers you to be OK. And that does make sense, in my
non-medical opinion. Best of luck to you.
