What to do if the left ovarian cyst

Left ovarian cyst is a relatively serious condition. It will affect women's fertility and the synthesis of follicles. Women need to seek timely treatment. The left ovarian cyst is mainly caused by excessive psychological pressure and improper living habits. It needs to be removed surgically, otherwise it will develop polycystic ovary syndrome or ovarian cancer.

Causes of left ovarian cyst:

Long-term dietary structure, bad living habits, excessive psychological pressure and other factors cause excessive acidification of the body, a decline in the overall function of the human body, a decline in immune function, and thus the development of abnormal proliferation of ovarian tissue, ultimately leading to ovarian cysts.

Causes of left ovarian cyst 2:

In addition, other tissues in the body may become cancerous due to acidification of the body constitution, and ovarian cysts may occur due to the decline in body functions.

1. Abnormal function of the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis. The basic pathophysiological change in many patients and patients with polycystic ovary syndrome is that the ovaries produce too much androgen. The excessive production of androgen is the result of the synergistic effect of abnormal functions of multiple endocrine systems in the body.

2. The body cavity epithelium can be repeatedly stimulated by menstrual hormones or chronic inflammation and metaplasia into endometrium-like tissue to form endometriosis. 80% of endometriosis occurs in the ovaries, which is related to the metaplastic potential of the ovarian germinal epithelium. However, many scholars believe that peritoneal stimulation combined with endometriosis is the result rather than the cause, and that peritoneal stimulation occurs in areas other than ectopic foci.

3. Environmental factors: unreasonable dietary structure, high cholesterol diet, lack of vitamins A, C, E, smoking, ionizing radiation and other environmental factors are related to its occurrence;

4. Long-term dietary structure: bad living habits, excessive psychological pressure and other factors will lead to a decline in the overall function of the human body. The pathological deficiency of kidney and ovarian cysts will also cause liver deficiency, which will lead to a slowdown in the metabolic cycle in the lower abdomen, causing ovarian diseases and endocrine disorders, causing kidney deficiency. The liver and kidney are homologous, and the immune function is reduced, which will develop into abnormal proliferation of ovarian tissue, eventually leading to ovarian cysts and even cancer.

5. Endocrine factors: The incidence rate is increased in nulliparous or infertile women, and pregnancy seems to have a protective effect on ovarian cancer; early menarche (before the age of 12), menopause after the age of 50, frequent menstruation, use of ovulation-stimulating agents for more than 3 cycles (discuss with your doctor when using), precocious puberty or virilization, etc. are also related to the occurrence of ovarian cysts.

Symptoms

1. Increased abdominal circumference and abdominal tumors

This is the most common phenomenon among patients. The patient finds that his clothes or belt seem tight and small, and then he notices that his abdomen is enlarged, or he notices it accidentally in the morning, so he presses his abdomen and finds a tumor in his abdomen, coupled with abdominal distension and discomfort.

2. Abdominal pain

If the tumor has no complications, there is very little pain. Therefore, if patients with ovarian tumors feel abdominal pain, especially if it occurs suddenly, it is mostly due to torsion of the tumor pedicle, or occasionally due to cyst rupture, bleeding or infection. In addition, malignant cysts often cause abdominal pain and leg pain, and the pain often causes patients to seek emergency treatment.

3. Menstrual disorders

Ovarian cysts on one or even both sides usually do not cause menstrual disorders because they do not destroy all normal ovarian tissue. Some uterine bleeding is not endocrine in nature. It may be caused by ovarian cysts that change the pelvic blood vessel distribution, causing endometrial congestion; or it may be caused by direct metastasis of ovarian malignant cysts to the endometrium. Menstrual disorders caused by endocrine tumors are often combined with other secretory influences.

4. Compression symptoms

Huge ovarian cysts can cause dyspnea and palpitations due to compression of the diaphragm. Ovarian cysts combined with a large amount of ascites can also cause these symptoms; but some patients with ovarian cysts have dyspnea caused by unilateral or bilateral pleural effusion, and are often combined with ascites.

treat

Before treating a left ovarian cyst, you must first determine whether it is benign or malignant. Surgery is the only way to treat an ovarian cyst. If it is determined to be benign and the cyst is very small, you can observe it first without treatment. The treatment of left ovarian cyst can be done by torsion of ovarian cyst pedicle. Emergency surgery is required after diagnosis. First, intramuscular injection of analgesics, such as pethidine, is performed. Regardless of the patient's age, it is appropriate to perform an oophorectomy on the affected side. At the same time, the most advanced surgery now is the laparoscopic surgery which is very popular nowadays.

Although most left ovarian cysts are benign, they may also become malignant. Therefore, do not be careless and actively cooperate with the doctor in the treatment of left ovarian cysts. To prevent various diseases including left ovarian cysts, it is important to have a regular life.

Advantages of laparoscopic treatment

With laparoscopic technology, doctors can clearly and intuitively detect male and gynecological diseases and causes of infertility and perform surgery. Examination and treatment are carried out simultaneously, minimizing trauma, making it safe and painless. Compared with traditional surgery that requires a large incision, combined hysteroscopy and laparoscopy only requires a 3-cm incision, and the patient completes the surgery without even realizing it. The incision is small, the damage is less, and the recovery after surgery is faster. Generally, you can be discharged from the hospital in about 2 days.

Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the disease is mainly related to phlegm and blood stasis. Phlegm blocks the meridians and affects the Chong and Ren meridians, causing irregular menstruation, poor blood circulation, and uterine malnutrition. Phlegm blocks the rise and fall of Qi and affects water metabolism. Phlegm and blood stasis are the key to the symptoms and signs of endometriosis. Chinese medicine can target different symptoms such as qi stagnation and blood stasis, cold stagnation and blood stasis, phlegm and blood stasis, and can play the role of soothing the liver and regulating qi, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, clearing away heat and detoxifying, softening and dispersing nodules, thereby achieving the purpose of completely curing ovarian cysts.
