Can acupuncture cure ovarian cysts?

Ovarian cysts are a common gynecological disease among women today. Ovarian cysts mostly occur in women aged 20 to 54. Many people do not pay attention to ovarian cysts. If they are not treated when they are ill, it is very likely to lead to infertility or even ovarian tumors. Most ovarian cysts are treated with medication or injections, but if it is in the early stages, you can try acupuncture to see if it can treat ovarian cysts.

1. What is an ovarian cyst?

Ovarian cyst refers to a benign tumor of the ovary and is the most common gynecological disease. It can occur in women of any age, but is more common during the reproductive period. Patients usually have no obvious symptoms and the disease is often discovered accidentally during physical examination. Clinically, the disease progresses slowly. As the cyst slowly grows larger, symptoms such as menstrual disorders, abdominal distension and pain often occur, and sometimes sexual intercourse may cause pain. When cysts affect hormone secretion, symptoms such as irregular vaginal bleeding or increased body hair may occur.

Larger cysts can compress nearby organs such as the bladder, rectum, and ureters, causing frequent urination and difficulty urinating and defecating. In severe cases, intestinal obstruction, urinary retention, and hydronephrosis may occur, leading to more serious kidney disease. When these symptoms are severe, there is a high chance that the disease will turn into malignant ovarian cancer.

2. Acupuncture points for ovarian cysts

The ovarian reflex area on the heel is the focus. In addition, there are Ba Liao, Zhong Wan, Shen Que, Shang Guan Yuan, Zi Gong, Zu San Li, San Yin Jiao and Yin Ling Quan. In addition, we should know that benign mucinous or liquid cysts can be treated with the traditional Chinese medicine Gongliuxiao, while malignant ones require immediate surgery. Cysts formed by endometriosis are called Qiaonian cysts, which require special medicines for Qiaonian cysts. Therefore, acupuncture treatment is generally used for benign ovarian cysts.
