Patient's question:
At the age of 12, when I first started menstruating, it was irregular. I often didn't have a period for several months, and when I did, it would last 50–60 days with heavy bleeding. Based on the doctor's advice, I took progesterone and Guizhi Fuling capsules. Over the years, the effect was not significant. Last year, I was diagnosed with a left ovarian cyst, measuring 7.9x7.5, which was a benign cyst. The examination and test results were as follows: Currently, the right ovarian cyst measures 2.9x2.5.History of treatment and effectiveness:
In August 2010, I underwent surgery to remove the left ovarian cyst. Since the beginning of this year (from the first lunar month to now), I haven’t had a period for another year. A B examination revealed a right ovarian cyst, currently measuring 2.9x2.5.
Type of help needed:
Is it effective to take Chinese medicine? How should I treat this recurring cyst? Can I take classes and exercise normally while on medication?
Doctor's answer:
Ovarian cysts refer to a general term for cystic masses in the ovaries. The harm they pose to the body and their treatment determine their nature. Advice: Generally, if the cyst diameter is less than 5 centimeters and there is no evidence suggesting a tumor, it is often a functional cyst. Close follow-up is recommended, such as a check-up every 2-3 months, and the follow-up interval can be adjusted based on the situation thereafter. If the cyst diameter is greater than 5 centimeters, it is more likely an ovarian tumor, and surgical treatment is usually required. Doctor's inquiry: In fact, having an ovarian cyst does not need to be feared. Patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as timely treatment is received in the early stages, the chances of controlling the condition and recovering are very high.
