Patient's question:
I had a gynecological examination and found a left ovarian cyst. It was not treated at all. When I had a follow-up examination, the ovarian cyst was still there but smaller, with mild cervical erosion.Please ask: What are the better methods for treating ovarian cysts?
Doctor's answer:
1. Female friends should pay attention to hygiene during the menstrual period, and it is essential to maintain the cleanliness of the external genitalia and vagina for women during menstruation and postpartum.2. To prevent ovarian cysts, women should pay attention to their daily diet. Smoking and alcohol are highly acidic substances. Long-term smokers and those who frequently drink beer are prone to an acidic constitution. Women should consume more light foods, such as lean meat, eggs, chicken, and fish, and avoid excessive intake of salty and spicy foods. Do not eat overly hot, cold, expired, or spoiled food.
3. Maintain a positive mood, appropriately relieve stress, balance work and rest, and avoid overexertion. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that stress can lead to overexertion and physical weakness, resulting in an increased immune response, endocrine disorders, and metabolic disorders in the body, causing the accumulation of acidic substances. Stress can also cause mental tension, leading to stagnation of qi and blood, internal accumulation of toxic heat, and other issues.
