Ovarian tumors are common tumors of the female reproductive system. They have various properties and forms. Ovarian cysts include the following types:

1. Chocolate cyst endometriosis: refers to endometriosis growing in the ovaries, forming a large amount of sticky coffee-colored liquid like chocolate in the ovaries. Because endometriosis will grow larger over time, it will gradually erode normal tissues and cause irreversible damage to ovarian tissues. After evaluating its severity, surgery may be required.

2. Hemorrhagic cysts: Sometimes follicular cysts and corpus luteum cysts grow too fast, causing the ovarian tissue to tear and bleed. The blood accumulates in the ovary because there is no outlet, which is called a hemorrhagic cyst. This type of cyst usually disappears on its own, but it takes a long time. If the physical discomfort is more obvious, you can take medicine to alleviate the symptoms.

3. Teratoma: This is a very special cyst. It may be a problem with cell differentiation during the embryonic period, and it takes a long time to show up. It will form a collection of hair, teeth, and some oils in the ovary. Since the teratoma itself will not disappear on its own and may continue to grow, and there is a 15% chance of causing ovarian torsion, it is best to remove it as soon as possible.

Patients with ovarian cysts should eat more foods with anti-tumor effects: horseshoe crab, seahorse, turtle, dragon ball tea, hawthorn. Infection should eat eel, clam, water snake, needle fish, carp, eucheuma, celery, sesame, buckwheat, rape, Chinese toon, red bean, mung bean. Abdominal pain and bloating should eat pork kidney, bayberry, hawthorn, tangerine cake, walnut, chestnut.
