Can chocolate cysts be treated with traditional Chinese medicine?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Ovarian chocolate cysts are caused by the implantation of endometrium into the ovaries. 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 traditional Chinese medicine for regulation.
