Can ovarian cysts be cured?

Many women often suffer from ovarian cysts. Most ovarian cysts are benign, but the possibility of malignancy cannot be ruled out. Many people with ovarian cysts very much hope to cure this disease in time, because ovarian cysts are very harmful. Not only can they cause infertility, but in severe cases, they may also become cancerous. Let me introduce to you the Chinese medicine treatment methods for ovarian cysts!

Ovarian cysts are a type of ovarian tumor in a broad sense. They can occur in people of all ages, but are most common in women aged 20-50. Ovarian tumors are common tumors of the female reproductive system and have various properties and morphologies, among which cystic tumors are the most common and have a high degree of malignant transformation. Early diagnosis is difficult, and 70% of cases are already in the advanced stage when seeking medical treatment. Early treatment is rarely available, and the 5-year survival rate has always hovered around 20-30%. It is one of the most serious malignant tumors that threaten women's lives. Ovarian cysts have no obvious clinical manifestations in the early stages and are often discovered only during gynecological examinations when patients seek medical treatment for other diseases. Later, as the tumor grows, patients begin to feel it. The symptoms and signs vary depending on the nature, size, development, and presence or absence of secondary degeneration or complications of the tumor.
