What should I do if I have a cyst in my uterus?

I just met a gynecologist some time ago, whom I met by chance at a party. According to her, there are more and more gynecological diseases nowadays, and there are all kinds of conditions. And most of them are married women. She casually mentioned a case. She said that she had just performed an operation on a uterine cyst. This kind of thing requires surgery, which seems to be quite serious. So, what exactly is going on with uterine cysts? Let’s hear what the doctor says.

Uterine cysts are also known as uterine leiomyoma, which is the most common benign tumor of the female reproductive system. Most of them are asymptomatic, and a few may present with vaginal bleeding, abdominal mass, and compression symptoms. If pedicle torsion or other situations occur, it may cause pain, which is common in multiple uterine fibroids. The exact cause of the disease is unknown. Modern Western medicine uses sex hormones or surgery to treat it, and there is no other ideal treatment. [1] Early reports of modern acupuncture treatment for this disease appeared in the mid-1950s. In the early 1960s, a large sample of more than 100 cases was observed, using a combination of fire needle Ashi points and acupuncture at distant points, with good therapeutic effects. Since the 1980s, a set of effective experience has been further summarized. In terms of diagnosis, ear acupoint palpation is used to diagnose uterine fibroids. Metal rods are used to palpate the bilateral uterine and endocrine acupoints. If there are 1 mm thick cords in the subcutaneous tissue that do not disappear when touched, it is considered positive on palpation. Through observation of 70 patients, the positive compliance rate was over 90%. Therefore, it is believed that this method has certain diagnostic value. In treatment, body acupuncture is mainly used, combined with ear acupuncture, which also has significant effects.

Treatment of uterine cysts: If the cysts are small and there are other obvious symptoms, no treatment is required temporarily. If they are enlarged, further treatment, medication and surgery are required. First, vaginitis should be cured. You can use vaginal wash to rinse the vagina, and then insert metronidazole suppositories or effervescent tablets, etc. Generally, a course of treatment is 7-10 days. It is recommended to repeat a course of treatment after the menstruation is over, maintain personal hygiene, and consider taking Chinese medicine combined with Western medicine for a course of treatment. If the effect is not good, you can consider surgery.

The above is the doctor's advice. The doctor also said that most gynecological diseases occur among married women, so this reminds us to pay attention. Once a person gets sick, he or she will feel very uncomfortable, no matter whether it is a major or minor illness. As the saying goes, being healthy brings light. So I would rather pay more attention to the details of life than get sick.
