The treatment of ovarian cysts should be determined based on the nature, size, symptoms of the cyst, and individual patient factors, selecting the most appropriate method. Below are some common treatment approaches:
1. General management: For small, asymptomatic cysts, regular follow-up examinations are recommended along with avoiding hormone-containing foods and medications, and maintaining a regular lifestyle to monitor changes in the cyst.
2. Medication therapy: Under a physician's guidance, medications such as Guizhi Fuling Capsules, Danbie Capsules, and Hongjin Xiaojie Tablets may be used. These medicines have functions of promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis and softening and dispersing hard masses, showing certain efficacy in treating ovarian cysts.
3. Surgical treatment: For large cysts with symptoms or suspected malignant cysts, surgical treatment is required. Surgical procedures include ovarian cystectomy, parovarian cyst surgery, and salpingo-oophorectomy. Surgery can be performed via laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery or open abdominal surgery.
