How to treat ovarian cysts for many years

Patient's question:

Age
Medical history: I had a right ovarian cystectomy due to torsion of the ovary at the end of 1997. One month after the surgery, I discovered a 30-40mm cyst in the left ovary and a cluster of cervical cysts, which still exist today. I have also experienced uterine enlargement and uterine fibroids during routine examinations.
Previous diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes: The doctor suggested waiting and seeing for this age and prescribed traditional Chinese medicine. Later, whenever I felt discomfort in my abdomen, I would have an ultrasound done. If the cysts grew slightly, I would buy cinnamon and bupleurum capsules to take. Over the years, I consumed about 60 boxes (60 pills per box). During this time, the uterine fibroids disappeared, and the size of the uterus also...

Doctor's answer:

Patients with benign ovarian tumors need to have the affected ovarian tumor removed. During surgery, it is essential to examine the condition of the contralateral ovary. If a tumor is also found on the opposite side, it must be removed, and a pathological examination should be conducted simultaneously. However, postoperative recurrence is common.
For malignant tumors: Surgery is the primary treatment method, and the surgical scope must be extensive. In most cases, the entire uterus, both adnexa, and the omentum are removed. Postoperatively, chemotherapy and radiotherapy are also required.
