Patient's question:
The ovarian cyst was discovered in 2015 at a private hospital. The doctor recommended laparoscopic surgery. At that time, it was about 3 centimeters, but I didn't pay much attention and just took some medication and applied moxibustion. Later, during several follow-up checks, there was no change. This year, I had another check-up, and it was said to be 5 centimeters, with surgery recommended. I searched online and found some say taking traditional Chinese medicine for conservative treatment is better, while others suggest trying to get pregnant first, as it might possibly fall off. There are also those who recommend interventional therapy. Now, I want to ask the doctor: what treatment is actually the best?Doctor's answer:
Hello, patients with ovarian cysts may not only feel poor appetite, weight loss, and abdominal swelling but may also experience vomiting, fever, and severe abdominal pain. In later stages, it can even lead to edema in the abdomen and limbs. At the same time, in daily life, it is recommended to reduce the intake of foods rich in estrogen-like substances, such as soy products, and avoid using plastic containers to store hot food, especially foam plastic lunch boxes or plastic bags! This is because plasticizers in plastics are strong estrogen-like substances that can easily enter food, and then enter the body through food, triggering diseases. It is advised to visit a hospital for specific examinations and follow medical advice for treatment. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
