Oral contraceptives can regulate hormone levels and inhibit cyst growth; gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists can reduce cyst recurrence by inhibiting ovarian function; Chinese medicine conditioning such as Guizhi Fuling Pills and Danggui Shaoyao Powder can promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and regulate qi and blood.

Laparoscopic cystectomy is less invasive and has a quick recovery, which is suitable for most benign cysts; oophorectomy is suitable for cases where the cyst is large or the patient has no fertility needs; laparotomy is used for cases where the cyst is complex or suspected to be malignant.

3. Watch and wait: For asymptomatic, small cysts, especially physiological cysts, regular checkups can be performed to observe changes. Ultrasound examinations are usually performed every 3-6 months. If the cyst disappears on its own, no special treatment is required.

4. Dietary adjustment: Patients can consume more foods rich in vitamins and fiber, such as fresh vegetables, fruits and whole grains, avoid high-fat, high-sugar diets, and reduce the impact of hormone fluctuations in the body on cysts.

5. Psychological counseling: Ovarian cysts may cause anxiety or stress. It is recommended to relieve emotions through psychological counseling, meditation or moderate exercise. Maintaining a positive attitude will help recovery from the disease.

The treatment of left ovarian cysts needs to be combined with individual conditions and appropriate methods should be selected. Regular follow-up and a healthy lifestyle are the key to controlling the disease.
