Patient's question:
I usually have cold hands and feet. Traditional Chinese Medicine says it's due to Qi and blood deficiency, spleen deficiency, and kidney yin deficiency. In the past, when I did regular prenatal check-ups with my husband, everything was normal. Besides having more pubic hair, I often get a few fine hairs on my lips, but other body hair isn't excessive. I'm also not overweight. However, I've been unable to get pregnant, and the doctor says I have an ovarian cyst. Can an ovarian cyst be treated? Is there any danger in treating an ovarian cyst at an older age?Doctor's answer:
If you are older, it is recommended not to decide on surgical treatment, but to use traditional Chinese medicine for treatment. In clinical diagnosis, surgical treatment is often used for patients with cysts larger than 5 cm in diameter and malignant tumors. For cysts smaller than 5 cm in diameter, traditional Chinese medicine can be used, which is also very effective. It is recommended to use Yanzhiting traditional ointment for treatment. In addition to immediate treatment, patients with ovarian cysts also need to pay attention to maintaining a proper diet in daily life to digest nutrients well.
