Is ovarian cyst related to menstruation? What should I do if my menstruation is delayed?

Two-thirds of women's lives are accompanied by menstruation, and many gynecological problems can also cause menstrual disorders. So, is ovarian cyst related to menstruation? What should I do if my menstruation is delayed?

Generally, ovarian or even bilateral ovarian cysts do not cause menstrual disorders because they do not destroy all normal ovarian tissues. Some uterine bleeding is not endocrine, or it is caused by ovarian tumors that change the pelvic blood vessel distribution and cause endometrial congestion. Since ovarian malignant tumors directly metastasize to the endometrium, menstrual disorders caused by endocrine tumors are often combined with other secretory effects. Therefore, ovarian cysts can cause menstrual disorders or delays.

If ovarian cysts are not treated in time, they can cause endocrine disorders, premature ovarian failure, malignant changes, and in severe cases, ovarian cancer. When the cysts grow to the point where they are prone to infection, twisting, bleeding, or bursting, they can threaten women's lives. Some tumorous cysts can also become cancerous. When the internal function of the ovaries is affected, it manifests as menstrual disorders.

When cysts occur and affect menstruation, what should patients do? Can they take drugs to regulate menstruation? Traditional Chinese medicine believes that polycystic ovary is caused by insufficient congenital endowment and weak constitution, mostly due to cold uterus and disharmony of qi and blood. Taking some drugs to regulate menstruation can play the role of replenishing qi and blood, warming the meridians and unblocking the collaterals.

When the Qi and blood are full, the levels of estrogen and progesterone in the body will be restored, which will inhibit the secretion of male hormones, thereby restoring menstruation, promoting ovulation, and improving symptoms. However, the drugs that regulate menstruation are only a temporary solution for the treatment of ovarian cysts and reduced menstruation, and do not cure the root cause. If you want to better treat the problem of scanty menstruation, you should receive treatment for ovarian cysts under the guidance of a doctor to achieve the effect of curing both the symptoms and the root cause.

When ovarian cysts cause menstrual disorders or menstrual reduction, patients do not need to worry too much. With timely treatment, there is hope of recovery.
