Patient's question:
I have an ovarian cyst measuring 3.12.8. I received intravenous fluids for ten days at the hospital, which seemed to include Salvia miltiorrhiza tetracycline, etc. I also took traditional Chinese medicine for ten days. What should I do about the ovarian cyst?Doctor's answer:
Ovarian cysts can be divided into two categories: tumorous and non-tumorous. Generally, women of childbearing age are most likely to experience recurrent ovarian cysts, such as functional cysts of the ovary, such as follicular cysts, corpus luteum cysts, luteinized cysts, and polycystic ovaries. This is due to excessive physiological responses caused by endocrine dysfunction, insufficient luteinizing hormone secretion, and drug stimulation. Once an ovarian cyst is detected, it should be determined as early as possible whether it is a tumorous cyst or a non-tumorous cyst. Based on the growth rate, size, and characteristics of the tumor, as well as additional examinations such as MRI confirmation or abdominal CT scans, magnetic resonance imaging, or even laparoscopic examination and laparotomy, a definitive diagnosis can be made. If it is the former, early surgical removal should be performed regardless of whether it is currently malignant.
