Patient's question:
Ovarian cyst for 3 years, often lower abdominal pain during menstruation. Are there Chinese medicine treatments? How effective are they? The medicine previously prescribed didn't work.Doctor's answer:
Ovarian cysts are a common disease among women of reproductive age. The cysts can be physiological or pathological. 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 you often experience lower abdominal pain during your period. This situation requires checking the size of the cyst first, and then adjusting the treatment based on the condition. It is recommended to actively go to the hospital for a systematic gynecological examination. After the detailed examination results are available and the cause is identified, actively treat the cause under the guidance of a clinical diagnosis doctor. Confirm the size of the cyst or whether there may be malignant inflammation. The diet should be light and balanced, with a focus on nutrition, and avoid stimulating foods such as tobacco and alcohol.
