Is surgery necessary for ovarian cysts? What are the treatments?

1. Surgical treatment: For patients with benign ovarian tumors, the affected ovarian tumor must be removed. During surgery, the condition of the opposite ovary must be checked. If there is also a tumor on the opposite side, it must be removed and a pathological examination must be performed at the same time. However, recurrence is easy after surgery. Surgery is the first choice for patients with malignant tumors, and chemotherapy and radiotherapy are also required after surgery.

2. Conservative treatment: Traditional Chinese medicine classifies ovarian cysts as "癓瘕" and believes that the disease is mostly caused by emotional damage, sexual overwork, or the invasion of the six external evils during menstruation and postpartum period, which leads to qi blockage, organ disharmony, and imbalance of yin and yang. During treatment, a comprehensive and integrated analysis of the overall cause of the disease and dialectical treatment are required to truly resolve the disease.

3. Minimally invasive treatment: Laparoscopic minimally invasive technology is a painless, non-invasive, low-side effect, fast recovery technology, and is currently the most popular technology for ovarian cysts. Modern laparoscopic surgical systems are equipped with relatively complete equipment, which can perform a variety of operations from simple to complex, and can fully guarantee the most reasonable treatment according to the needs of patients during surgery.

Since the operation only requires three small puncture holes, the damage to the abdominal wall and pelvic cavity is minimal. The patient can get out of bed on the day of the operation, eat and move freely the next day, and can be discharged from the hospital within 3 days after the operation. Generally, work can be resumed within a week. If ovarian cysts are treated in the early stage, there is no harm, but if the time is too long, the harm to the patient is very great, and the possibility of malignant transformation is particularly high, so early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment are better.
