Patient's question:
04 years suffered from an ovarian cyst, left side 3.12.9 in size. After treatment with traditional Chinese medicine and instrumental physiotherapy, a follow-up in late 2004 showed the cyst had reduced to 2.72.9 in size. A check-up this month still showed the same size of 2.72.9.Currently, my physical condition is generally good, though I sometimes experience severe abdominal bloating. A gynecological examination revealed yellow discharge, a slightly enlarged uterus, and mild pelvic inflammation.
Two years ago, I had irregular periods and blood-tinged discharge, which improved quickly after treatment with traditional Chinese medicine. Question: How should I be treated? Will it be bad if the cyst does not disappear? Can surgery be performed earlier? I look forward to the guidance of experts!
