OVARIAN CYST AND PSORIASIS

Patient, age 42.

Complaints:
  1. Ovarian cyst and tumor
  2. Psoriasis
  3. Infertility The primary reason for the consultation is the ovarian cyst and psoriasis.
History: Married for 12 years but never pregnant. Extensive examinations have been performed, including 7 general anesthesias for procedures like laparoscopy and GIFT. She refused further examination and sought alternative treatment for the ovarian cyst. Additionally, the patient has psoriasis on the scalp, trunk, and limbs, especially in the flexural areas, which appeared within 10 days.

An ovarian ultrasound was performed by a gynecologist before the start of therapy. The ovarian diameter was 3.5 cm, however, in addition to the cyst, the gynecologist found a solid structure inside the ovary, thus diagnosing an ovarian tumor. As the nature of the tumor (benign or malignant) was unknown, the patient was advised to undergo urgent cytological examination of the tissue. She refused and opted for a course of infrared therapy.

Treatment Results: After 10 days of therapy, the same gynecologist repeated the ultrasound, and the largest diameter of the tumor was 3.1 cm. Attempts were made to measure the largest possible diameter, but only this measurement was obtained. Thus, the cyst size reduced by 3 mm in 10 days. Unfortunately, the patient could not continue treatment due to work obligations. Psoriasis lesions became less pronounced and flatter. Improvement was noticed immediately after the second day of therapy, with complete skin clearance achieved after 10 days as expected.

No side effects.

Comments: Since the patient was unable to continue treatment, further observation by a gynecologist and adherence to the treatment plan by the attending physician are recommended. The full course of therapy was not completed, but there was a reduction in the size of the ovarian tumor.
