Patient's question:
I carefully checked the left ovary on July 21st and found a very small cyst. On August 2nd, it had grown to 5.34.3. Is it serious? What should I do? On July 21st, my period was supposed to come, but it arrived two to three days early. It was very light, almost nothing, and the discharge was dark red and thick. I took progesterone and Poria slices for three days, and after two days, my period came again, with the color being relatively normal. I previously took fertility and menopause medication. On July 21st, the cyst was very small, but on August 2nd, it had grown to 5.34.3. Sometimes my lower abdomen has a slight, vague pain, but I had been monitoring my follicles and didn’t notice anything abnormal. Is this a follicular cyst? The ultrasound technician said it was an unruptured follicle that turned into a cyst.Doctor's answer:
Chocolate cyst is a "tumor" but not a "tumor," it is an inflammatory condition of endometriosis. It is recommended that if the effect of drug treatment is not significant, or if there are large cysts in the ovaries, conservative surgery can be adopted, such as chocolate cyst aspiration of ovarian endometrial cysts, endometrial cyst enucleation, or removal of the affected ovary, to preserve normal ovarian function and fertility. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery, a healthy body, and a wonderful life.
