Is surgery necessary for uterine cysts? Are there no other treatments?

Uterine cysts do not necessarily require surgical treatment. The specific treatment method depends on the size and nature of the cyst and whether it causes obvious symptoms or complications. Some small benign cysts can be controlled by observation or drug treatment, but malignant or huge cysts may require surgical intervention.

Uterine cysts are a common gynecological disease, usually caused by abnormal hormone secretion, inflammatory response or other pathological changes. Common types include uterine fibroid cysts, adenomyosis cysts, etc. If the benign cyst is small or the symptoms are not obvious, surgical treatment is usually not required, and its changes can be observed through regular ultrasound examinations for 3-6 months. If combined with menstrual abnormalities, pain or infertility problems, medication can be used for treatment, such as menstrual regulation drugs (such as medroxyprogesterone acetate), gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists (GnRH-a), or oral contraceptives to regulate hormone levels. Malignant cysts or those that are too large (usually >5cm in diameter) may compress other organs or cause severe pain. In this case, surgical resection is generally recommended, and minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery or traditional laparotomy can be selected. The specific plan needs to be comprehensively judged based on the patient's age, fertility needs, physical condition and the nature of the cyst.

Early examination and standardized treatment are very important. If the cyst is small and the symptoms are not obvious, the patient needs to maintain good living habits, have regular checkups, and avoid behaviors that may aggravate the symptoms, such as sitting for long periods of time and staying up late. In your daily diet, you can focus on the intake of foods rich in antioxidants, such as green vegetables, deep-sea fish, and nuts, to enhance immunity. If the cyst continues to grow or the symptoms worsen, you should adjust the treatment strategy in time under the guidance of a doctor to avoid delaying the disease. Scientific evaluation and individualized treatment are the key to dealing with uterine cysts.
