Is ovarian cyst easy to treat?

Medical research has shown that women of every age are at risk of developing ovarian cysts. Once an ovarian cyst forms in a woman's body, it blocks the normal secretion of ovarian hormones. In addition, larger ovarian cysts can compress the uterine appendages, causing deformation of the uterine appendages. In a sense, ovarian cysts are also a gynecological disease. So is it easy for women to be cured after suffering from 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.
