Patient's question:
40 days ago, I had a medication-induced abortion. 16 days later, a follow-up test showed incomplete bleeding. The doctor prescribed 5 days of traditional Chinese medicine. 5 days later, a careful urine test turned negative, but the blood still hadn't cleared. The doctor then prescribed me 10 days of Xuefu Zhuyu oral liquid. It wasn't until 2 days ago that the blood finally cleared. Today, I went for a follow-up test and it showed that it was clean, but the report indicated that the uterus was normal in size and shape, with a left ovarian cyst. The doctor said I was about to get my period and it might be a pseudocyst, which could appear 10 days or 15 days later. I will go for another follow-up test then! But I'm very worried and upset—really a cyst!Test and examination results: 23 days later, today's examination showed that the magnetic resonance imaging revealed a uterus in an anterior position, with a smooth shape and normal size. No obvious abnormalities were seen in the myometrium. The endometrial line on the left side showed a thickness of about 4mm (single layer) with uneven echoes. The right ovary was of normal size, while the left ovary showed a large cyst.
Doctor's answer:
Ovarian cysts are a common disease among women of childbearing age. The cysts can be physiological (meaning they naturally disappear with the fluctuation of the normal menstrual cycle) or pathological (formed due to illness). Physiological cysts do not require surgery, while pathological cysts often need surgery for definitive diagnosis and additional treatment? You should first determine whether the cyst is physiological or pathological? It is recommended that you undergo another ultrasound examination? Currently, advanced diagnostic methods such as color Doppler ultrasound, X-ray examination, and laparoscopy can help diagnose ovarian cyst inflammation at an early stage?
