Patient's question:
Previously during a gynecological examination, it was found that there was a small 3.4cm cyst on the right side. The doctor said it was nothing and no treatment was needed. About three or four months later, it might have been because I ate more spicy food during that time and it hurt for a few days, but then it stopped hurting on its own. A follow-up ultrasound showed it had grown to 4cm, and it doesn't need treatment. Should I take any anti-inflammatory medication?Previous Treatment and Effect:
There was no treatment at the time, and it didn't matter.
What kind of help is needed:
There is an issue. Will taking anti-inflammatory medication help?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, ovarian cysts require a comprehensive evaluation considering factors such as size and symptoms to determine whether conservative treatment or surgical treatment is appropriate. If the cyst is relatively small, conservative treatment with medication can be adopted. The treatment is usually based on traditional Chinese medicine or over-the-counter medications, or methods such as herbal enemas can also be used. Generally, external application is not very effective, as it is difficult for the medicine to penetrate the skin to reach the inflamed area. Pay attention to cleanliness and avoid overexertion. Wishing you a speedy recovery. For patients with ovarian cysts, in addition to symptomatic treatment, it is also important to focus on self-care.
