Patient's question:
31-year-old female, not knowing what the situation would be, later found out that she had an illness. Please ask: How to appropriately treat an ovarian cyst?Doctor's answer:
How does traditional Chinese medicine treat ovarian cysts? In terms of medication, based on the theory of phlegm and blood stasis being of the same origin, traditional Chinese medicine utilizes herbs such as white mustard seed, selfheal, and brown algae to promote the resolution or absorption of ovarian cysts. During the treatment of ovarian cysts with traditional Chinese medicine, a combined approach of attacking and tonifying is adopted, without excessive aggressive action. However, there is one exception: if the ovarian mass is larger than 6 cm or persistently decreasing, with recent sustained declines in CA125 and other tumor markers, it may indicate ovarian regression or rupture. In such cases, surgical treatment is required, and traditional Chinese medicine is not suitable for this condition.
