Patient's question:
I had surgery on April 30, 2010, to remove a cyst on the right ovary and a uterine fibroid. In late November 2010, I underwent a postoperative follow-up examination, which revealed 2 cm of pelvic effusion, but I had no symptoms of lower back or abdominal pain. The doctor said it was normal during the ovulation period.On April 14, 2011, I had a health check-up and the results showed: a liquid mass measuring 27×30×35 mm in the right ovary, with clear boundaries, mixed echo, and no blood flow signals. Additionally, there was a liquid dark area in the pelvis, 35 mm deep. I was very worried—how could such a large cyst form in just four and a half months? Please help me make a prognosis for my condition and provide guidance for further treatment. Thank you.
Note: My last menstrual period started on March 24 and ended on March 29. Since I am married, I had an abdominal ultrasound of the uterine.
Regarding my previous treatment history:
Doctor's answer:
Ovarian tumors are common tumors of the female reproductive system, with various different natures and shapes, namely: solitary or mixed, unilateral or bilateral, cystic or solid, benign or malignant. Among these, cystic tumors are most common, and the degree of malignancy is very high. Early diagnosis is difficult, with 70% already in the late stage upon re-examination. Early treatment is rarely achieved, and the 5-year survival rate has always fluctuated between 20-30%. It is one of the most serious malignant tumors threatening women's lives. Oral traditional Chinese medicine, such as ginsenoside Rh2, can help control the condition, reduce suffering, and shorten the lifespan.
