Patient's question:
At 18 weeks of pregnancy, I was diagnosed with an ovarian cyst, approximately 7cm x 6cm. The tumor markers tested at that time were all benign. Now I am 24 weeks pregnant and wondering if I need a re-examination. Is the tumor growing quickly? I don't know if it can be tolerated until birth. What should I pay attention to in terms of diet and the like? Is there a Chinese herbal medicine treatment method? I'm worried.Doctor's answer:
The best treatment is surgery.1 For scattered and small cervical gland cysts, treatment is generally not required, just annual careful examination.
2 For dense and small Nabothian cysts or larger cysts, physical treatments such as phototherapy, laser, microwave, or cryosurgery can be considered.
3 For larger cysts that are weakly attached to the surface of the cervix, electrocautery removal can be considered.
For patients with ovarian cysts, daily treatment mainly involves medication. Patients can take oral medications and supplement them with vitamins. Additionally, dietary adjustments should be made, such as eating light, easy-to-digest foods. It is hoped that patients with ovarian cysts can recover as soon as possible!
