Can ovarian cysts be cured?

Ovarian cysts are a broad category of ovarian tumors. Although there is a certain proportion of malignant tumors, in most cases they are benign tumors. Benign ovarian cysts can be cured without malignant changes. However, ovarian cysts may recur.

The treatment of ovarian cysts depends on the patient's age, the location, volume, size, growth rate, malignancy, retention of reproductive function, and the patient's subjective wishes. Ovarian cysts with a volume of less than 2cm can be observed regularly. During the observation process, oral Chinese medicine soup can help control the development rate of the cyst. If the ovarian cyst does not develop or develops slowly, it cannot be treated. After menopause, the cyst basically shrinks or even disappears. For cysts with a volume greater than 5cm, or rapid development of the cyst, surgical removal is necessary. Ovarian cyst removal can be performed. For young patients, especially before menopause, there are fertility requirements. Normal ovarian tissue will be maintained as much as possible. After the ovarian cyst is removed and cured, it is still possible to recur because of the occurrence of ovarian cysts in the body's hormone levels and lifestyle. For older patients over 45 years old or after menopause, unilateral or bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy is feasible for ovarian cysts that are too large, and there will be no recurrence after removal. Ovarian cysts have a certain tendency to malignant changes, so if the cysts undergo malignant changes, it will affect fertility.

As long as the ovarian cyst does not change into a malignant form, it can still be cured in most cases.
