Patient's question:
In this period, I haven't eaten dinner much, but my stomach has always been bloated and a bit painful. So I went to a traditional Chinese medicine hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor who conducted the examination said I have a corpus luteum cyst, and it's quite large, about 5 centimeters. How should a corpus luteum cyst be treated?Doctor's answer:
You are probably referring to an ovarian cyst. Ovarian cysts are a common type of cystic ovarian tissue, most of which are inflammatory. Small ones may resolve on their own, but larger ones have a lower chance of disappearing spontaneously. If you are not planning to have surgery for the time being, you can take a period of Guizhi Fuling capsules or a course of traditional Chinese medicine. Follow up in about two weeks. If it really doesn't work, surgery may be the only option.
