How should ovarian cysts be treated?

We all know that malignant tumors are extremely harmful to the human body. In fact, not only malignant tumors are harmful, but some benign tumors can also cause harm to the human body. For women, ovarian cysts are common benign tumors of the reproductive organs. Although they are benign, they are extremely harmful to women and may also cause infertility. So what should women do after suffering from ovarian cysts?

Ovarian cyst treatment

1. Treatment generally uses advanced diagnostic techniques such as color B-ultrasound, X-ray examination, and laparoscopy.

If the cyst is less than 5 cm in diameter and there is no evidence to suggest a tumor, it is most likely a functional cyst and can be followed up closely, with an examination every 2-3 months and the intervals between examinations adjusted based on the situation.

2. If the diameter of the cyst is larger than 5 cm, it is most likely an ovarian tumor and generally requires surgical treatment. For surgical treatment, you can consider hysteroscopy and laparoscopy minimally invasive surgery.

Right uterine adnexal cysts were treated with minimally invasive surgery. It has the advantages of less trauma, quick recovery, the patient can get out of bed and move around on the same day, and can be fully recovered and discharged from the hospital in 3-5 days without affecting physiological functions. This procedure only requires making a few 3 mm small holes in the abdomen, without the need for surgery, and a clearer image than that seen with the naked eye can be obtained on a TV screen.

Although right adnexal cysts are prone to malignant transformation, they can be avoided through early examination, early detection and early treatment. Gynecological examinations can provide early prevention and treatment for some gynecological diseases. Many gynecological diseases do not have early symptoms. Female friends must attach importance to gynecological examinations. Regardless of whether they feel anything abnormal, they should consciously and regularly undergo gynecological examinations. They should have a gynecological examination at least once a year.

TCM treatment of ovarian cysts

"External treatment" avoids the defects of surgical removal of cysts, such as high cost, high risk, great pain, slow recovery, and susceptibility to infection. It also does not have the disadvantages of oral medications that can easily affect the functions of organs such as the liver and kidneys. It is truly a model of TCM treatment of cysts.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that human beings are a unified whole and that all diseases are the result of an imbalance of yin and yang in the body. Any pathology of a local organ is related to poor circulation of Qi and blood throughout the body and dysfunction of the internal organs. Specifically speaking of ovarian cysts, since the ovaries are where the liver meridian passes, they have a close relationship with internal organs such as the liver and spleen, and the formation of cysts is caused by liver depression, qi stagnation, phlegm coagulation and blood stasis.

Ovarian cysts are tumor diseases. If the environment inside the ovaries is acidic, it is very beneficial to the growth of tumors. Therefore, patients are advised to eat more alkaline foods to ensure the acid-base balance in the ovaries and not provide opportunities for the tumor to develop. Recommended alkaline foods include zucchini, kelp, alkaline bread, etc.
