Patient's question:
In January 2013, I received treatment in Huai'an for an ovarian cyst, which was then removed. Laboratory tests revealed it was well-differentiated. The hospital required a second surgery, during which my appendix, omentum, and uterus were also removed. Since then, during my recovery period until now, I have not undergone chemotherapy. I am experiencing numbness and pain on the outer sides of my thighs. When sleeping, my legs cannot touch anything, which provides some relief. I have visited your clinic once before, but did not consult you about these symptoms. Now, I feel particularly unwell and would like to ask Director Chen what is happening and how to improve and alleviate these symptoms. Thank you, and I look forward to your reply.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the causes of ovarian cysts are often related to endocrine factors, lifestyle factors, environmental factors, genetic factors, etc. In general, there are no obvious symptoms in the early stages, but as it develops, there may be abdominal pain and a sensation of a lump, menstrual disorders, and in severe cases, abdominal pain and bloating. Treatment usually involves taking Guizhi Fuling pills and Kingentang capsules. It is important to have follow-up ultrasounds and monitor changes in the nature of the ovarian cyst.
