Is surgical treatment necessary for ovarian cysts?

Patient's question:

On Tuesday, a cyst about 8 cm in size was found on the left side. It doesn't hurt and doesn't cause any sensation.

Doctor's answer:

The treatment of ovarian cysts is generally performed through surgical removal, but most patients are reluctant to accept it due to high costs, leaving scars, and the likelihood of recurrence at the original site or the development of cysts on the opposite side. For those with fertility requirements, surgical treatment is not advisable. However, for cysts larger than 5 centimeters that show an enlarging trend after 2-3 follow-up examinations, surgical excision is recommended. For cysts smaller than 5 centimeters, Chinese medicine and herbal treatments can achieve twice the result with half the effort and are less likely to recur after healing.
