Patient's question:
A close friend has been diagnosed with bilateral ovarian cysts. She is now preparing to have the cysts removed. What are bilateral ovarian cysts?Doctor's answer:
Hello, bilateral ovarian cysts refer to the condition where both ovaries have cysts. Generally, in such cases, it may be necessary to remove both ovaries. However, the specific treatment depends on the size and severity of the cysts. If the cysts are relatively small, they can also be managed through hormone medication or traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) herbs, which can help stabilize the condition. Therefore, it is important to first determine the specific size of the cysts before confirming the treatment plan.
