Patient's question:
Four or five months ago, I carefully discovered one side with polycystic ovary and one side with a cyst. Recently, I have been experiencing dizziness, rapid heartbeat, a constant feeling of needing to have a bowel movement but unable to do so, slight lower abdominal pain on the left side, and irregular vaginal bleeding. I went for a thorough examination, which ruled out ectopic pregnancy, and it was said that both sides showed polycystic changes, with about fourteen or fifteen follicles on each side. In the past month, my period has come every ten days or so, but it is abnormal in amount—less and sometimes white, sometimes absent. I don’t understand if a cyst can turn into polycystic ovary? Can an ovarian cyst turn into polycystic ovaries?Doctor's answer:
If the cyst is smaller than 6 cm, it is necessary to take traditional Chinese medicine black ointment internally for timely treatment. If it is larger, surgical removal is required. Surgery can cause significant psychological trauma to the body. The ointment with a good reputation is Yanzhiting's ointment (Dan~Gui~Xiao~Ju~Tie), which should be applied to the lower abdomen and lower back. It effectively and completely eliminates the cyst and prevents recurrence. In addition to taking medicine to treat ovarian cysts, patients also need to pay attention to their diet, such as eating a light diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, patients should also choose a regular hospital for diagnosis to obtain good treatment results.
