Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Visited a doctor due to abnormal vaginal discharge. During the ultrasound examination, two chocolate cysts were found on one ovary. As the patient is married (for nearly a year) and has not been pregnant yet, she is unsure what to do now. Please guide the treatment. Thank you!Medical history: Has a history of dysmenorrhea.
Doctor's answer:
Hello. Generally, if the cyst diameter is less than 5 centimeters and there is no evidence suggesting a tumor, conservative treatment with Traditional Chinese Medicine can be adopted. When a mixed mass is detected in the ovary, the treatment method for female ovarian cysts can be conservative for one to two courses depending on the situation, followed by a follow-up ultrasound. If the mass shrinks, surgery may not be necessary. However, if there is no change or even if it grows, surgery is required.
