Ultrasound appearance of ovarian cysts

Ovarian cysts can be examined by ultrasound, which is a relatively advanced technology. The location of ovarian cysts can be determined by the echo of ultrasound, and then surgical treatment can be performed. When using ultrasound to examine ovarian cysts, the number of ovarian cysts can be found. Ovarian cysts are a relatively serious gynecological disease. You can learn about its treatment method.

Regarding differential diagnosis, one of them is fallopian tube cyst, which is an inflammatory cyst, often accompanied by infertility or a history of pelvic infection; uterine fibroids, subserosal fibroids or cystic changes of fibroids are easily confused with ovarian solid tumors or cysts, they are multiple, accompanied by symptoms of abnormal menstruation or menorrhagia, and the tumor moves with the cervix and uterine body during examination; pregnant uterus, in early pregnancy, the uterine body and cervix seem to be disconnected during triple examination, and the soft uterine body is easily mistaken for an ovarian tumor.

Ascites. Large amounts of ascites should be differentiated from giant ovarian cysts. Ascites is often accompanied by a history of liver disease and heart disease, which can be differentiated through B-type ultrasound examination; adnexal inflammatory masses, with a history of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease and infertility, the location of the mass is relatively low, and there will be tenderness, and there will be adhesions to the uterus; chronic urinary retention, often accompanied by a history of incomplete urine and difficulty urinating, can also be differentiated by B-ultrasound examination.

Ultrasound has absolute advantages in the diagnosis of simple cystic space-occupying lesions, especially transvaginal ultrasound, which is clearer and more intuitive. These include follicular cysts, lutein cysts, polycystic ovaries, and ovarian corona cysts. All of these can be diagnosed using ultrasound. Ultrasound is diverse and variable, so all of these can be diagnosed using ultrasound.

Ovarian cyst is a very serious gynecological disease in women. Don't ignore it easily and must take it seriously. Treat different cases, choose different diagnoses, and find the right treatment plan. Remember not to be overly afraid, but to positively correct your attitude, face it optimistically and generously, and maintain a good mentality. I hope that every female friend who is ill can recover soon.

How to treat ovarian cysts

Ovarian cysts are the most common ovarian tumor disease, one of the most common gynecological tumors in clinical practice, and one of the diseases that causes women to lose their beauty prematurely. Women of all ages can be affected, but it is most common in those aged 20-50. It is one of the most serious malignant tumors that threaten women's lives. So, how to treat ovarian cysts?

The treatment of ovarian cysts depends on factors such as the patient's age, whether the symptoms are malignant, the location, volume, size, growth rate of the cyst, deformation of the uterine appendages, whether the reproductive function is retained, and the patient's subjective wishes.

1. Traditional Chinese medicine formula for treating ovarian cysts:

12 grams of seaweed, 10 grams of white mustard seeds, 10 grams of Trillium, 20 grams of Coix seeds, 10 grams of peach kernels, 20 grams of Prunella Vulgaris, 6 grams of Arisaema, and 12 grams of red peony root.

Function: Regulating Qi and relieving stagnation, promoting blood circulation and removing phlegm, softening hard masses and reducing swelling.

Indications: Suitable for various cysts, especially ovarian cysts. It also has certain effects on uterine fibroids, teratomas, liver and kidney cysts.

Usage: decoction in water, the medicine liquid is 600 ml, each serving is 300 ml, twice a day, 10 days is a course of treatment, and B-ultrasound is performed once every 1 to 2 courses of treatment. If there is efficacy, the medicine can be taken until the tumor disappears. If the tumor continues to grow after three courses of medication, it is considered ineffective and a CT scan can be done to further clarify the diagnosis and provide additional treatment.

Note: If you suddenly experience severe lower abdominal pain, you should have an ultrasound examination to see if the tumor has twisted. If so, you should have surgical treatment in time.

2. Surgical treatment of benign ovarian cysts:

1) Ovarian cystectomy: For patients without menstrual disorders or pregnant women, if the tumor is more prominent on one side, salpingo-oophorectomy on the affected side can be performed.

2) Salpingo-oophorectomy: For patients over 45 years old, bilateral ovarian cysts are usually treated with unilateral or bilateral oophorectomy. Patients with physical inability to perform the procedure or severe inflammation often undergo total hysterectomy.

3) Adnexectomy and total hysterectomy: unilateral or bilateral ovarian cysts in perimenopausal or postmenopausal women.

If the patient's general condition is not adequate for the procedure, bilateral adnexectomy and total hysterectomy are appropriate, but this will seriously affect endocrine disorders.

3. Surgical treatment of malignant ovarian cysts:

1) For patients in the advanced stage, every effort should be made to remove the primary cyst and any visible pelvic and abdominal metastases.

2) For ovarian malignant tumors with ascites, regardless of whether they are completely removed or not, it is advisable to place a catheter in the abdominal cavity to facilitate postoperative intraperitoneal injection of anticancer drugs or radioactive colloidal gold or colloidal phosphorus.

The treatment of ovarian cysts is basically divided into conservative treatment and surgical extraction treatment. It is best not to undergo surgery to treat ovarian cysts unless it is absolutely necessary. Once the ovaries, fallopian tubes and uterus are removed, it will have varying degrees of impact on women's physical, physiological and mental health. Do not stimulate or extract ovarian cysts casually. Many patients report that the more they extract, the faster the cyst grows. The scientific approach should be to choose the right medicine for active treatment and combine it with close follow-up and reexamination, pay attention to changes in the nature of ovarian cysts, and then take appropriate countermeasures.
