Patient's question:
Please ask: I am 28 years old, originally had irregular menstruation, and took Chinese medicine to regulate my period. During this time, I took Clomiphene 50mg X 5 pills X 2 times, and now there is a 30mm X 29mm cyst on the right ovary, which has been present for one month. Can taking Chinese medicine to promote ovulation regulate my period and eliminate the cyst? Will it affect pregnancy? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello: It is best to have active treatment. The only treatment for ovarian tumors is surgical resection. For cysts with a diameter of less than 5 to 6 cm, observation for 3 to 6 months is possible. If the cyst continues to grow, or if the tumor has a diameter of less than 5 cm but is solid, surgical resection should be performed. For children and young, childless patients, the affected-side oophorectomy or affected-side adnexectomy is often chosen. If the bilateral ovarian tumors are benign, doctors may consider ovarian cystectomy to preserve as much ovarian tissue as possible, maintaining menstrual and fertility functions. Laparoscopic surgery has smaller abdominal incisions and a faster recovery.
