Is the right adnexal mass an ectopic pregnancy?

Right adnexal mass is a problem that many women will find during examination. Many female friends think this is an ectopic pregnancy. In fact, the right adnexal mass is not an ectopic pregnancy, the most likely possibility is an ovarian cyst. Ovarian cysts have a particularly great impact on female patients, for example, they can cause infertility, difficult labor, premature aging, etc. Next, I will introduce you to some relevant knowledge about ovarian cysts!

1. Hazards of ovarian tumors

1. It can easily lead to female infertility: Once the ovarian cyst becomes larger or degenerates, it is possible that the sperm, egg or fertilized egg cannot function normally, thus affecting fertility and leading to infertility. In addition, ovarian diseases such as congenital absence of ovaries, immature ovaries, premature ovarian failure, polycystic ovaries, and ovarian tumors can affect the ovulatory function of the ovaries, leading to infertility.

2. Premature aging of women’s appearance: Ovarian cysts can cause endocrine disorders, premature aging, malignant changes, and even ovarian cancer.

3. Cause miscarriage and dystocia: Ovarian cysts may cause miscarriage in early pregnancy, ovarian cyst pedicle torsion is prone to occur in mid-pregnancy, and larger cysts in late pregnancy may lead to abnormal fetal position, which may block the birth canal and cause dystocia during delivery.

4. Cyst rupture and life-threatening: When an ovarian cyst grows to a certain size, complications may occur: infection, cyst pedicle torsion, bleeding or rupture, which may endanger the woman's life.

II. Patients’ Notes

1. Ovarian cysts are a type of tumor. The acidic environment inside the ovary is conducive to the growth of the tumor, so you should eat more alkaline foods (zucchini, bamboo shoots, kelp, tomatoes) to neutralize the acidic environment, which can effectively reduce the proliferation rate of the cyst.

2. Don't go to nightclubs. Many young women hang out in nightclubs, smoke and drink in nightclubs. These are all wrong. Patients with ovarian cysts should not only quit smoking and limit alcohol, but also be careful not to eat salty, spicy, overheated or overcold food.

3. Maintain a good attitude. Female patients should maintain a good attitude to face the disease, which will have a good effect on the treatment of the disease.

3. TCM treatment of ovarian 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.
