Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: I have had an ovarian cyst for over two years. Recently, an ultrasound examination revealed that the doctor considered it to be a chocolate cyst, with the cyst size nearly reaching four centimeters. I received a five-day intravenous saline infusion, which temporarily alleviated some symptoms. However, I am afraid of surgery. Can medication treat it? Preferably, is Chinese medicine a good option?Duration and course of the current illness: When I feel uncomfortable, I experience lower back pain and feel very tired and unmotivated. I have taken some anti-inflammatory medications on my own.
Current general condition: The cyst has been kept under control at four centimeters.
Medical history: Two years
Previous diagnoses, treatments, and outcomes: Already undergone
Doctor's answer:
Hello, if the cyst diameter is greater than 5 centimeters, it is often an ovarian tumor and generally requires surgical treatment. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination, adjust your diet reasonably, pay attention to a regular lifestyle, and wish you a speedy recovery.
