What is the best way to treat ovarian cysts?
Disease description:
Recently, a B ultrasound examination revealed a cyst in my left ovary, measuring approximately 4.0 cm in size. I am very concerned about its impact on my health. I would like to know, what is the best treatment for ovarian cysts?

The treatment of ovarian cysts should be individually tailored based on the patient's specific condition. For patients without symptoms and with small cysts, doctors often recommend regular observation to see whether the cyst resolves spontaneously, along with periodic ultrasound examinations to monitor any changes. For small cysts, physicians may prescribe medications, such as Guizhi Fuling capsules, for conservative management. However, if the ovarian cyst is large, has a risk of continued growth or malignancy, or if emergency situations such as rupture or torsion occur, timely surgical intervention is required, such as ovarian cystectomy or excision. In addition, regulation with traditional Chinese medicine is also a feasible treatment option, aiming to reduce or eliminate cysts by modulating endocrine function.
The management of ovarian cysts should be comprehensively determined according to factors such as the patient's age, symptoms, cyst type and size, to select the most appropriate treatment plan. If in doubt, please consult a relevant physician.
