Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. What is an ovarian cyst and what causes it?Doctor's answer:
It may be triggered by long-term dietary habits, poor lifestyle, excessive psychological stress, and other factors, leading to excessive acidification of the body constitution, a decline in overall physiological function, resulting in kidney deficiency. This can further cause ovarian diseases, endocrine disorders, and weakened immune function, ultimately developing into abnormal fibrosis of the ovaries, which may eventually lead to ovarian cysts.Generally, if the cyst diameter is less than 5 centimeters and there is no evidence suggesting a tumor, it is often a functional cyst. In such cases, Guizhi Fuling capsules can be taken for treatment, with close follow-up, including thorough examinations every 2-3 months. Subsequently, the examination interval can be adjusted based on the condition. If the cyst diameter is greater than 5 centimeters, it is more likely to be an ovarian tumor, and surgical treatment is usually required.
