How is a left temporal lobe arachnoid cyst treated?

Patient's question:

My job is particularly exhausting and requires working for long hours, which has led to me developing some health issues. This year, when I went for a health check-up at the hospital, my report indicated that I have a left temporal lobe arachnoid cyst. I don't know what to do about it. Now, I want to know how to treat a left temporal lobe arachnoid cyst.

Doctor's answer:

The left temporal arachnoid cyst is usually congenital, but it may also be caused by mental trauma and inflammation. Most cysts are benign. If there are no clinical diagnostic symptoms, treatment is generally not required, and regular follow-up examinations are unnecessary. If there are clinical diagnostic symptoms of nerve compression, surgical removal can be performed at the hospital. Rest regularly, avoid emotional excitement and fatigue; quit smoking and drinking; maintain a light and nutritious diet to ensure regular bowel movements.
