Patient's question:
What should be done about ovarian cysts? With a 3-year history of lower abdominal pain during menstruation, are there Chinese medicine treatments available? How effective are they? The previously prescribed medication had no effect.Doctor's answer:
Ovarian cysts are a common disease among women of reproductive age. Cysts can be physiological (meaning they naturally disappear with the fluctuation of the normal menstrual cycle) or pathological (formed due to illness). Physiological cysts do not require surgery, while pathological cysts often need surgery for definitive diagnosis and additional treatment. First, you need to determine whether the cyst is physiological or pathological. You have had a cyst for 3 years and experience lower abdominal pain during your period. This situation requires checking the size of the cyst first, and then adjusting the treatment accordingly. There are many treatment methods for ovarian cysts, but since the patient's condition varies, the treatment methods also differ. Therefore, patients need to have timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to receive appropriate treatment.
