How to treat uterine cysts
The treatment of uterine cysts is primarily determined by the size of the cyst, symptoms, and the patient's fertility needs. Below is a brief overview of treatment options:
1. **Medication**: Suitable for small cysts accompanied by inflammation within the uterine cavity. Commonly used medications include Jinguanteng capsules and minocycline hydrochloride capsules. However, it should be noted that the effectiveness of drug therapy is generally limited, and it is currently not considered the first-line treatment.
2. **Physical Therapy**: When medication proves ineffective, physical therapies such as phototherapy or laser therapy may be considered. These treatments directly target the affected tissue to achieve therapeutic effects.
3. **Surgical Treatment**: Cystectomy is recommended for patients with large cysts or those experiencing symptoms such as abdominal pain and bleeding, especially for individuals who wish to preserve fertility. Hysterectomy may be considered in cases of severe cysts or when the patient has no desire for future childbearing.
4. **Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)**: Utilizes methods such as promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis and resolving masses to improve endometrial blood flow and control cyst growth.
