Patient's question:
Today I went to the hospital for an ultrasound examination. At the place where the IUD was inserted on November 21, there was an echo-free dark area in the right adnexa, which was diagnosed as an ovarian cyst.Doctor's answer:
Hello, patients with ovarian cysts should follow a light diet and avoid foods such as mutton, shrimp, crabs, eel, salted fish, and black fish.Do not excessively consume salty and spicy foods like chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, raw scallions, raw garlic, or stimulant foods and beverages such as baijiu. Avoid foods that are too hot, too cold, expired, or spoiled. Avoid foods with thermogenic, coagulant, and hormone-containing properties, such as longan, jujubes, eel glue, and royal jelly. Instead, consume more lean meat, chicken, eggs, quail eggs, grass carp, softshell turtle, white fish, cabbage, asparagus, celery, spinach, cucumbers, winter melon, mushrooms, tofu, and fruits.
At the same time, maintain a regular lifestyle. Strengthen physical exercise to enhance physical fitness and engage in outdoor activities under the sun. Excessive sweating can help expel acidic substances from the body through sweat, preventing the formation of an acidic constitution. Many women with ovarian cysts also experience menstrual irregularities, so regulating menstruation is also very important.
If the cyst is no larger than five centimeters, medication can be used for treatment, followed by regular follow-up. If the cyst is larger than five centimeters, surgical treatment may be required.
