As it
happens, it is possible for one to have ovarian cysts that can literally
increase one’s weight. A Timaru woman found this out when surgeons removed a
cyst that weight 35 kg from her body. Like anyone else her size would believe, Sharon
Watt believed that the increase in weight was due to her overeating.
According to
Fairfax, Ms. Watt’s tumor was only discovered after she complained of extensive
stomach pains. A diagnosis later revealed a large growth which was larger than
initially anticipated. Gynecologist Albert Makary admitted to it being the largest
ovarian cyst that he had seen in his career.
The cyst that
weighs almost as much as 10 babies had had a significant impact on Sharon’s
life. As she admitted, having the cyst had made it almost impossible to wear
some of her clothing. She admitted to Fairfax saying that: “I can actually fit
into some of my clothes now which is nice; I was wearing a 5XL T-shirt and couldn't understand why.
As it turns
out, Ms. Watt’s cyst is not even the largest cyst ever extracted from a woman’s
body. The largest cyst weighed a massive 50 kg. This is why it is always
advisable that women go for regular checkups once they reach a childbearing age.
This is so because statistics show that a large percentage of women in the world
today have cysts and that when not detected early, they can grow to sizes that only
surgical procedures can be of use.
It is also
advisable that you watch your lifestyle. The foods you eat will play a large
role in determining not only the presence of cysts on ovaries, but also the rate
of their growth.
Leading a healthy lifestyle is usually the best method of
preventing the growth of cysts on ovaries. Once you have started experiencing
abdominal pains and other symptoms of ovarian cysts, opting for natural treatments of ovarian cysts might be a healthy and risk-free way to be free from
the growths. However, natural methods have their limitations too, especially
when cysts grow as heavy as 35 kg.
