What should I do if my ovarian cyst is about 4 cm?

Ovarian cysts of about 4 cm can be improved through general treatment, medication, and surgery.

1. General treatment:

Ovarian cysts are ovarian lesions caused by improper diet, environmental factors, endocrine disorders, inflammatory infections, etc. If there are no obvious symptoms of physical discomfort, patients can follow the doctor's advice. If the ovarian cyst can be reduced or subsided, no special treatment is required. It is recommended to get enough rest, not too excited, and not too tired.

2. Drug treatment:

If the patient's condition is relatively stable and does not meet the surgical indications, conservative treatment can be carried out by taking drugs such as Guizhi Fuling Capsules, drospirenone ethinyl estradiol tablets, and metronidazole tablets.

3. Surgical treatment:

If the ovarian cyst is still expanding and the patient experiences lower abdominal pain, swelling, menstrual abnormalities and other discomforts, surgical treatment can be performed under the guidance of a doctor, such as oophorectomy on the affected side, ovarian cystectomy, and adnexectomy.

In addition to the above common methods, it can also be conditioned by taking Chinese medicine prescriptions, such as Diaphragmatic Blood Stasis Decoction, Yinjia Pills, Cangfu Daotan Pills, etc. Acupuncture and Chinese medicine enema treatment can be used as auxiliary treatments when necessary. Family members should comfort and encourage patients, maintain a good attitude, and actively cooperate with treatment.
