Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Since my period has been delayed by a week and I still have severe pain on the left side of my waist, I went to the gynecology department for a check-up.Test results:
Urine HCG: Negative
Ultrasound: Left ovary shows questionable enlargement (something was forgotten in the middle), with no significant cysts. Right ovary: Polycystic changes (it was said that there are many follicles piled inside and unable to ovulate).
The doctor prescribed progesterone (to induce my period) and asked me to come back for a follow-up in 3 months. If the cyst grows, surgery will be required.
Question 1: Is there an effective treatment for the cyst?
Doctor's answer:
Ovarian tumors come in two types: benign and malignant. Benign ones generally grow slowly and are cystic, while malignant ones grow faster and are solid. It is not related to ovarian dysfunction. If you have a cystic ovary, taking several courses of blood-activating and stasis-resolving medicine can help. If the cyst grows larger than 5 centimeters, surgery is recommended.
