What Doctors Will Prescribe

If you have been diagnosed with ovarian cysts, you are looking for a way to end the pain. Most doctors will take a wait and see approach with your cysts. That is, they will wait and let you suffer while they see if the cyst will clear up on its own! In the meantime, you’re left to deal with the pain.

In some cases, cysts don’t clear up. You may also suffer from recurrent cysts. The primary form of treatment for these cases is birth control pills. However, this is not the best form of treatment for most women.

Problems with Hormonal Therapy

Hormonal therapy, or birth control pills, present a few problems when used to treat ovarian cysts. First of all, in many cases, they do not work. Many women find that their cysts grow while taking these pills. Also, some women will develop multiple cysts. This is because the pills do not treat the real cause of ovarian cysts.

Hormonal therapy is also not helpful if you want to get pregnant. Birth control is meant to prevent pregnancy. Even after you stop taking the pills, it can take up to a year to get pregnant again. If your biological clock is ticking, this can be too long to wait.

A Natural Remedy for Ovarian Cysts

If you are tired of taking pills and having your health problems get worse, you are going to want a real solution. Fortunately, there is a natural method to get rid of your cysts once and for all. There is an extremely helpful ebook that outlines an easy to follow plan. If you want something easy to use and planned out for you, I would recommend it. In an independent study, 26 out of 26 women who tried this method were able to shrink or get rid of their ovarian cysts altogether.

Some of the natural cures we’ll be covering include dietary changes, beverages to watch out for, exercise, natural pain relief, and cleansing diets. We’ll also go into the causes of different types of cysts – because once you can figure out the cause, you can solve the problem.

Cystic Ovary Disease

Did you know that cattle experience a similar disease to polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)? It’s called cystic ovarian disease, and affect a large number of cows, and a few pigs.

Now, cattle are often treated with hormones to increase their milk production. Could there a connection between this hormonal treatment and the prevalence of cystic ovarian disease? It’s very possible. And you could even extrapolate that to humans…

It would be interesting to see if nonhormonally treated dairy cattle experience this in a signicantly less percentage than those treated. It would definitely be a case to see if the hormones entering our diet are causing the increase in ovarian cysts that we see today.

Pain from Ovarian Cysts: When Do You Need to Call the Doctor?

Pain from ovarian cysts can be a very frightening thing. Sometimes it’ll just feel like a dull ache. Other times it’ll feel like someone is twisting a burning knife in your stomach. However, your doctor has probably told you that you have to just wait to see if the cyst clears up on it’s own in a couple of months. But what if something happens? How do you know that you need to call the doctor?

There are two potential complications that you need to be aware of with functional cysts. In either of these cases, you need to see a doctor right away. These are:

A burst cyst.
A twisted cyst, or ovarian torsion.

If the cyst happens to burst, you will generally experience a sharp pain from the cyst bursting. This is generally followed by a burning sensation in your abdomen. If the fluid from inside the cyst has sprayed into the surrounding area, it irritates the tissue, which creates this burning. Generally, a cyst is more likely to burst right after intercourse, heavy lifting, or sudden pressure on your stomach. Of course, it may burst just because as well…

If this happens to you, call your doctor right away. He’ll probably want to see you in order to get you started on antibiotics. They’ll also want to make sure you don’t have any internal bleeding. In most cases, a burst cyst will resolve itself as long as you avoid the risk of infection.

Ovarian torsion is a more severe situation. Fortunately, it’s not very common. In some cases, the cyst grows on a stem. As it gets larger, it twists downwards, twisting the ovary as well. This cuts off the blood supply to the ovary, causing intense pain. This pain is more like a kidney stone. If it’s not treated right away, the ovary will die from the lack of blood supply. Treatment for this is generally surgery.

So to sum it up, if your pain suddenly worsens, and it’s not time for ovulation (middle of your menstrual cycle), call your doctor. Each woman will experience pain differently. A good rule of thumb is that it’s better not to take chances. If you think something is going on, it’s better to go and get it checked out than let a potentially dangerous problem go undiscovered.
