Patient's question:
I noticed something was off with my body a few days ago. I kept having some abdominal pain. Later, I found out that I had an ovarian cyst. My relative, an older woman, said that taking cinnamon and poria can treat it. I wanted to ask, can an ovarian cyst disappear by taking cinnamon and poria?Doctor's answer:
The ovarian cyst you mentioned can be treated with Guizhi Fuling Pill, but generally, it requires at least two weeks of oral administration before a follow-up ultrasound is conducted to check for effectiveness and any signs of enlargement. In most cases, ovarian cysts are caused by inflammation, and after taking some anti-inflammatory medications, the cysts will gradually shrink. That is to say, if the cyst is smaller than 5 centimeters and shows no symptoms, surgical treatment is not considered necessary. Ovarian cysts are a common gynecological condition that is prone to occur. During treatment, women need to pay attention to their self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and maintain good hygiene. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery.
