How to treat complications of follicular cyst removal

Patient's question:

Ovarian cyst removal complications

Doctor's answer:

Follicular cysts can cause acute abdominal pain due to their thin walls, occasionally resulting from rupture or torsion. Follicular cysts are non-neoplastic cysts of the ovary, formed when a mature follicle fails to rupture and continues to grow. They are common in individuals with irregular menstrual cycles, and the cysts are generally no larger than 6 cm. They usually do not require treatment and naturally disappear within 1-3 months. This has no relation to placing a mobile phone in the right-side pocket of tight jeans.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) classifies ovarian cysts under the category of "qi xuan" (accumulations or concretions). It is believed that the occurrence of ovarian cysts is often due to damage from emotional distress (seven emotions), overexertion during sexual activity, or external invasions of six pathogenic factors during menstruation or postpartum, leading to blocked qi flow, dysfunction of the viscera, and imbalance of yin and yang. Therefore, in treatment, a comprehensive and holistic analysis of the underlying causes must be conducted to formulate a rational herbal prescription, ensuring the true resolution of the condition.
