subject: Holistic Solutions To Treat Recurring Ovarian Cysts [print this page] If you have problems with recurring ovarian cysts and are looking for long term solutions, this article discusses holistic solutions to treat recurring ovarian cysts. If your cysts are recurring, you understand how painful they can be and how hard they can be to get rid of in addition to considering whether they will affect your fertility and sex life.
A cyst is a fluid filled sac or follicle. An ovarian cyst is a cyst on ovaries of a woman. The most common cyst occurs during the menstrual cycle and is known as a functional cyst which affects most women and usually dissolves into the blood stream after a months if not weeks.
Although most women will develop cysts at some point during their life, most do not experience ovarian cysts symptoms which may include abnormal bleeding, abdominal or pelvic pain, infertility, pain during intercourse, weight gain, etc. These may be large ovarian cysts or small ones.
Relief can be offered through traditional medicine through the use of certain oral medications such as birth control pills or pain killers and may sometimes include surgery. One of the surgical procedures is called ovarian drilling and involves an incision through the abdomen and another instrument is then inserted to burn holes into the fluid filled follicles or sacs as a way to trigger ovulation.
Surgery has its own side effects and risks in addition to being rather expensive. It is important to note that traditional medicine only offers solutions that deal with the current cysts and offers no solutions for cysts that may re-occur in the future.
It does not make sense to undergo surgery repeatedly during a single year or to continually use medications long term which may eventually take a toll on your body because of the side effects of the various treatments. With recurring ovarian cysts, discovering natural or holistic methods to treat these cysts and prevent recurrence is prudent.
More women are turning to the holistic methods as a way of getting rid of cysts on the ovaries. When compared to oral medications or surgery, holistic methods are inexpensive, are not difficult and do not take a lot of time that you do not have. Prevention is always the best treatment for a cyst on the ovaries and natural remedies will help you achieve this better than traditional medicine.
Most holistic approaches require a change in lifestyle. One way is to avoid certain drinks such as soft drinks, caffeine and alcohol which usually dehydrate your body. A dehydrated body does not eliminate toxins from the body. When you empty your bladder often enough, it reduces the pressure on your pelvis or lower abdomen and leads to less pain from ovarian cyst.
A cup of herbal tea will relive stress that may aggravate cysts as well as soothe your nerves which will ease ovary pain. Make sure you maintain a diet rich in fibers especially whole grains which will also help the body to eliminate toxins that can cause or aggravate ovarian cysts. Drink at least eight glasses of water a day.
There are several other holistic remedies that can be implemented at home to relieve cyst symptoms as well as prevent future cysts from re-occurring.
