Patient's question:
On March 13, 2019, I had a thorough examination of the ovarian cyst, and it was found that there was only 4 cm. On March 7, there was only pelvic effusion of 3 cm, but I have been taking traditional Chinese medicine for regulation. However, on March 30, 2019, the examination showed that the original ovarian cyst had shrunk, but a new pelvic effusion had appeared again on April 9. I would like to ask, how is this possible? It was said that traditional Chinese medicine can regulate, why did it increase instead?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the situation you described, the current ovarian cyst is mainly related to the excretion of estrogen and progesterone in the body.Guidance and suggestions: Hello, pelvic effusion. If it occurs after ovulation, it is a physiological phenomenon. Apart from this period, it may be caused by chronic inflammation, leading to symptoms such as abdominal pain and lower back pain. In this case, oral medication like "Fuke Qianjin Pian" should be taken for treatment. For ovarian cysts less than 5 centimeters in size, regular follow-up is recommended. If the cyst is larger than 5 centimeters, minimally invasive surgery may be required.
