Patient's question:
I discovered bilateral chocolate cysts ten years ago and they disappeared after I got pregnant. However, they recurred three years ago, and now it is the right chocolate cyst. After taking the medication prescribed by the doctor, the chocolate cyst, which had started at 5.7 cm, has now shrunk to 4.3 cm. However, taking the medication always makes me uncomfortable. But I don't want surgery because this condition tends to recur. What kind of help do I need: Can luteal cysts be treated with medication?Doctor's answer:
Ovarian cysts are a common disease among women of childbearing age. The cysts can be physiological (meaning they naturally disappear with the fluctuation of the normal menstrual cycle) or pathological (formed due to illness). Physiological cysts do not require surgery, while pathological cysts often need surgery for definitive diagnosis and additional treatment. First, you need to determine whether the cyst is physiological or pathological. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a follow-up ultrasound examination. Currently, advanced diagnostic technologies such as color Doppler ultrasound, X-ray examinations, and laparoscopy can help diagnose ovarian cyst inflammation at an early stage. Although ovarian cysts can easily become malignant, early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment can still prevent this.
