How to judge whether left ovarian cyst needs surgery or can it be treated with drugs?

Ovarian cysts refer to benign tumors of the ovaries and are the most common gynecological diseases. They can occur in women of any age, but are more common during the reproductive period. Patients usually have no obvious symptoms and are often discovered accidentally during physical examinations. So, how do you determine whether a left ovarian cyst requires surgery? Can it be treated with medication?

Cysts with a diameter greater than 5 cm and less than 5 cm are generally considered physiological and can be followed up with ultrasound every 3 months. Most of them will shrink or disappear on their own, but they may grow again on the other ovary or the same ovary. Cysts with a diameter greater than 5 cm are not harmful if they are pure cysts. The main complications are rupture, infection, torsion, etc., so surgical treatment is recommended.

There are two main types of treatment:

Laparoscopic treatment:

Laparoscopic technology allows doctors to clearly and intuitively detect male and gynecological diseases and causes of infertility and perform surgery. Examination and treatment are carried out simultaneously, minimizing trauma, making it safe and painless. Compared with traditional surgery that requires a large incision, combined hysteroscopy and laparoscopy only requires a 3-cm incision, and the patient completes the surgery without knowing it. Small incisions mean less damage, and faster recovery after surgery, usually allowing patients to be discharged from the hospital in about 2 days.

Traditional Chinese Medicine:

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the disease is mainly related to phlegm and blood stasis. Phlegm and turbidity block the meridians, affecting Chong and Ren, causing irregular menstruation, poor circulation, uterine malnutrition, phlegm and turbidity blocking the rise and fall of qi, affecting water metabolism, and phlegm and blood stasis are the key to the symptoms and signs of endometriosis. The traditional Chinese medicine "Xiao Nang Zhu Yu Fang" targets different symptoms such as qi stagnation and blood stasis, cold stagnation and blood stasis, phlegm and blood stasis, and can play the role of soothing the liver and regulating qi, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, clearing away heat and detoxifying, softening and dispersing nodules, thereby achieving the purpose of completely curing ovarian cysts.
