Reatment For Ovarian Cysts - Why You Should Take Control Of Your Own Body
I am very close to my daughter and so it was quite worrying when she rang me in tears
, saying that she was at the end of her tether regarding her treatment for ovarian cysts. She had previously brushed the problem aside, whenever I spoke to her, but apparently she was in a lot of pain for most of the time and sometimes it was so bad she had to take time off work. Also she felt she was not getting any support from her husband who just put it down as "women's problems" and advised her to take a painkiller.I took it upon myself to do a little research on the internet to find out what treatment other women were being given. After hanging about in various forums, it was disturbing to find that the majority of women were all being prescribed hormone or birth control pills and told to sit back and wait for a couple of months. A definite pattern was evolving whereby women were being used almost as laboratory guinea pigs for various types of hormone pills and painkillers and it was disturbing that in a vast amount of cases, their cysts simply grew to such a size that their doctor then started suggesting surgery as the only available treatment. I also discovered that many women were scared that their ovaries would become damaged and ruin their chances in the future of getting pregnant.
After scouring many forums and websites relating to the treatment of ovarian cysts, I was excited to find that women were reporting natural treatments and remedies that they could do themselves at home, which were proving to be effective both in relieving the pain from their ovarian cysts, and in many cases shrinking them away altogether. There were also good indications that the cysts were staying away for good, which unfortunately cannot even be guaranteed after surgical removal.
Apparently cysts are thought to be caused by an imbalance of hormones and quite often an insulin resistance and this is one of the reasons that doctors tend to prescribe birth control pills, because if a woman is not ovulating, then the cysts do not form. One very effective method to balance the hormones is by taking natural progesterone. This has the effect of counter balancing the dominant hormone estrogen, which is causing all the problems. Once the menstrual cycle is bought back into balance and periods become regular again, ovarian cysts cease to be a problem. Whilst a woman is taking progesterone she would also be well advised to drink plenty of water, at least 8 glasses a day, to flush out all the toxins in the body, which help to create an atmosphere in which cysts like to grow. Herbal teas, such as chamomile, are also a useful addition, since they have calming and soothing powers which all help with the treatment for ovarian cysts.
Your body is too precious to be used for testing out different contraceptive pills and painkillers. Why sit back and wait for your cyst to grow to mammoth proportions, when you can nip it in the bud right now, by taking control of your own body. Natural treatments worked wonders for the women in the forums and they could work for you.
So many women are led to believe that surgery and medication are their only options as treatment for ovarian cysts, but trust me when I tell you that natural treatments can and do work.
