Patient's question:
Since having an IUD insertion in 2010 after an abortion, my endometrium has thickened. Later, I experienced pain for three months without menstruation, and frequent abdominal pain led to hospitalization. Before discharge, I was diagnosed with chocolate cysts. Now, the cyst has grown to 7.3mm with increased fluid accumulation. Is this condition very serious?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms caused by cysts are the same as those caused by benign tumors. The treatment methods include oral medication and surgical intervention. Oral medications such as Xiaojin Pian and Guizhi Fuling Wan can be used for treatment. If these methods are ineffective, surgery must be performed. Currently, there is no specific medical treatment for cysts. For small cysts with no symptoms, treatment is not necessary, but regular follow-up is required to monitor whether the cyst continues to grow. Severe cysts may require surgery, and generally, a rest period of 15 days is needed along with nutritional support therapy.
