Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and cold drafts. What is the significance of the anechoic area in the right ovary?Doctor's answer:
Hello, considering an ovarian cyst, when the size is generally less than 5 cm, it usually does not significantly affect the body and does not impact fertility. Medications such as Guizhi Fuling Wan can be used for treatment, along with regular follow-up. If the cyst enlarges or if there are obvious symptoms, surgery may be considered for treatment.Your condition may be caused by cold deficiency, leading to dysmenorrhea. During the menstrual period and its surrounding days, pain in the lower abdomen or waist may occur, sometimes even extending to the lumbar and sacral regions. The pain typically recurs with each menstrual cycle. In severe cases, it may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, profuse sweating, cold extremities, or even fainting. Acupuncture, physical therapy, and massage can be considered for treatment.
