Natural Treatment Ovarian Cyst Review

Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled or solid-filled sacs that develop in or outside the ovarian follicle. Ovarian cysts may develop as a normal part of the menstrual cycle as the ovaries prepare eggs to release into the fallopian tubes. The cysts are completely harmless, but unfortunately some may be malignant. Ovarian cysts do not give any symptoms unless they have ruptured. When complications occur, abdominal pain, pain during sexual intercourse and difficulty in urinating may appear. These symptoms suggest the presence of ovarian cyst. You will always need more than the above indicators to be sure you have ovarian cyst. Carefully scrutinize the following possible symptoms: Sudden and sharp pain in the lower abdomen which could be on one or both sides of the abdomen, pelvis, vagina, lower back, or thighs; Fullness, heaviness, pressure, swelling, or bloating in the abdomen; Pressure and/or pain on the bladder and/or rectum; Breast tenderness; Pain before, during or at the end of menstrual period; Irregular menstrual periods, uterine bleeding or spotting; Infertility; Change in frequency or ease of urination (such as inability to fully empty the bladder); Increased level of hair growth especially facial and body hair; Weight gain with its attending fatigue; Nausea and/ or vomiting. The truth remains that ovarian cysts may be asymptomatic although in most cases some of the symptoms listed above will certainly show up. Ovarian cysts are usually found during a routine pelvic exam. Most such cysts are benign and may go away on their own with the passing of time. Those that linger on may be removed by simple natural treatments instead of resorting to surgery from where complications may arise. It is ok to wait for some time, say between one to three months and get re-examined before knowing what treatment course to take. This will help you to note whether the cyst has reduced or increased in size. If the cyst still persists after several menstrual periods, has gotten larger and looks unusual on the ultrasound or even causes severe pain, it may be necessary to remove it surgically. There are also natural treatment ovarian cyst that can work wonderfully in eliminating ovarian cysts. 1.
