Can chocolate cysts be treated with traditional Chinese medicine?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Chocolate cysts of the ovary are caused by the implantation of endometrium into the ovary. If the cyst is less than 4cm, it can be treated conservatively with traditional Chinese medicine. If it is larger than 4cm, laparoscopic surgery should be performed first to remove the cyst, followed by the regulation with traditional Chinese medicine.
