Patient's question:
In September 2010, a health check-up revealed an ovarian cyst on the left side, with an initial size of about 4 cm. Treatment history and outcomes: After discovery, the doctor advised close monitoring without medication. During this period, there were no significant symptoms, and menstruation was normal except for abdominal bloating. In August 2011, it was found to have grown to 5.8x5.0x4.6. The doctor prescribed two boxes of Dang Gui She Chong Pian and recommended a follow-up ultrasound. The ultrasound revealed a size of 5.4x5.2. At that time, the doctor mentioned that the slight increase was not necessarily a result of medication and could be related to the menstrual cycle. What kind of help is needed: What should I do now? I am 26 years old and have not had children yet. Should I take medication (Chinese medicine or Western medicine) or undergo surgery? Will surgery affect my ability to have children in the future?Doctor's answer:
