Today I will talk to you about chocolate cyst .

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, chocolate cysts can be roughly divided into four types: liver stagnation and qi stagnation type, qi stagnation and blood stasis type, cold coagulation and blood stasis type, and qi and blood deficiency type.

Patients with chocolate cysts generally have the following symptoms: : abdominal distension and pain before or during menstruation, heavy or light menstrual flow, dark menstrual blood, blood clots, dysmenorrhea, upset, general weakness, loss of appetite, Poor sleep quality and dark red tongue.

Dysmenorrhea is the most typical symptom of chocolate cyst, but it is also the precursor that we most easily ignore. Moreover, endometriosis has a high probability of causing infertility.

At present, the best way to treat Qiaofeng is conservative conditioning using traditional Chinese medicine. The combined use of various medicines can directly hit the focus of the disease, thereby regulating Qi and blood, activating blood circulation and relieving pain, eliminating blood stasis and dispersing knots. Only by treating both the symptoms and the root cause can the effect be immediate.

Next, I will share with you a relatively classic medical case to let you understand the conditioning ideas of traditional Chinese medicine.

Ms. Zhao, 31 years old, underwent surgery last year because of a chocolate cyst, but it recurred at the beginning of this year. A 4.8-cm chocolate cyst was found. She lost confidence in the surgery, so she sought conservative Chinese medicine treatment from me through a friend’s introduction. Because the distance is far, I adopted the method of remote consultation .

When she was first diagnosed, the patient reported that her menstrual time was quite accurate, but she had blood clots and dysmenorrhea every time. She also had excessive leucorrhea with yellow color. She often felt backache and abdominal distension and pain. I observed that her tongue was red. , yellow and greasy tongue coating .

According to her situation, the prescriptions are as follows:

萆袢, beehive, dandelion, red vine, soybean grass, zedoary , triangular , leech, earth turtle, Tianlong

Why are these medicines prescribed? ?

Patients often have low back pain, excessive leucorrhea, and abdominal distension and pain. They belong to lower burnt dampness and heat, which accumulate into phlegm and blood stasis. Therefore, they use 萆薢, LUHU hives to remove and clear away dampness and heat; red vine, dandelion, and soybean paste. The grass clears away heat and detoxifies; adds Curcuma zedoary, Trigonella regulates qi and reduces swelling; adds Turtle, leech, Tianlong promotes blood circulation and removes blood stasis , softens hardness and dissipates stagnation.

Let’s look at the efficacy:

After the patient took the above medicine, the leucorrhea was significantly reduced, the abdominal distension and pain were relieved, and the menstrual blood clots were much less, but there was still pain in the left lower abdomen. A review showed that the vaginal cyst had shrunk to 2.9 cm.

I fine-tuned the prescription and asked her to continue taking it. After a period of time, the patient reported that the pain in the left abdomen had basically disappeared. A review showed that there was no abnormality in the ovaries and the cysts had dissipated. But there was still a small amount of leucorrhea with a yellowish color, so I Simply prescribe a few medicines and give the patient a dietary prescription to assist in conditioning and consolidate the curative effect.

According to incomplete statistics, the recurrence rate of chocolate cyst surgery is as high as 90%. Therefore, I have generally not recommended that patients with chocolate cysts choose surgery to eliminate it. Because there is a shortcut of traditional Chinese medicine, why choose a method that is harmful to the body without removing the root cause? Woolen cloth?

If you have similar troubles, you can tell me and I will help you.
