The cyst on the appendages is also known as ovarian cyst. It is a relatively common cyst phenomenon among gynecological diseases. Most cysts are benign cysts. For female friends who want to have children, conservative methods can be used for treatment. For example, Chinese medicine is very effective in regulating the female body and treating ovarian cysts. Of course, for more serious cases, surgical treatment should be performed in time.

Treatment

1. Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that a person is a unified whole, and that local organ lesions are related to systemic qi and blood disorders and organ dysfunction. Therefore, the use of dialectical treatment methods, such as soothing the liver, tonifying the kidney, strengthening the spleen, invigorating qi, nourishing yin, and nourishing blood, can achieve the purpose of treating ovarian cysts.

Diet therapy

1. The diet should be light, and it is not suitable to eat mutton, shrimp, crab, eel, salted fish, black fish, etc.

2. Avoid spicy foods and drinks such as chili peppers, peppercorns, raw onions, raw garlic, and white wine.

3. Avoid eating foods that are hot, coagulant, or contain hormones, such as longan, red dates, donkey-hide gelatin, and royal jelly.

4. Eat more lean meat, chicken, eggs, quail eggs, grass carp, turtle, white fish, cabbage, asparagus, celery, spinach, cucumber, winter melon, mushrooms, tofu, fruits, etc.

2. Surgical treatment

Mainly surgical resection. If the cyst is determined to be malignant, surgical treatment should be performed as soon as possible, and it should also be combined with radiation therapy and anti-cancer drug treatment. For advanced ovarian cancer, surgery should be performed to remove most of the tumor as much as possible, followed by chemotherapy. Some patients still have hope of cure; those who have been confirmed to have neoplasms should have surgery removed as soon as possible.

During surgical treatment, different patients may have their fallopian tubes, adnexa or even the entire uterus removed depending on their condition; postoperative complications such as pain, ascites, intestinal or ureteral obstruction, infection, etc. are very likely to occur, which will have an adverse effect on the patient's postoperative recovery and mental health. Traditional surgical treatment requires an opening in the abdomen, which is large and harmful to the body. Recovery is slow and prone to infection. The disadvantages of surgical treatment cannot be ignored.
