It is possible to treat ovarian cysts naturally. In fact,
most of the cases rarely require any medical intervention since the cysts on
ovaries usually disappear on their own. However, there are times when the
removal of cystic growths from a woman’s ovaries is recommended. The following
are cases where a doctor can recommend this.
Big In
Size
While cysts are not unusual in women who have reached a
childbearing age, it is unusual to have an very large ovarian cysts. Growths
that are more than 3 inches in diameter usually cause severe symptoms and thus may
call for their removal. However, given the risks that the removal of cysts on
ovaries poses, this is usually advisable only on extreme cases.
Continuous
Growth
Most cystic growths usually disappear with time.
Wait-and-see is thus a common “treatment” option. However, this does not
usually happen in all cases.
Where a cyst that is being watched keep on growing with
time, a doctor may advise that you have it removed. This is so especially in
cases where it continues to grow two to three months down the line. Growths that
do not disappear with time, and which cause discomfort to a woman, may also
have to be removed.
Complex
Ovarian Cysts
Most cysts that grow in ovaries are usually simple
functional cysts. These are harmless and rarely cause any adverse side effects.
However, there are cases where women develop complex
cysts which usually call for immediate attention. Removal of such growths from
a woman’s ovaries may thus sometimes be the only option.
Never Had
A Menstrual Period
Since most ovarian cysts are usually a result of the female
menstrual cycle, their occurrence in ovaries of a person who has never had her
menses is something that may call for immediate attention. This is usually the
case where a young girl’s ovaries develop cystic growths. Their removal may be
necessary as this may be an indication of ovarian cancer.
Post
Menopause Cystic Growths
Studies show that women who have ovarian cysts way after
menopause are more likely to have ovarian cancer than those who don’t. As a
result, the occurrence of cysts at the late stage of a woman’s life may be an
indication of a cancerous growth and may thus call for their removal.
While
Using Birth Control Pills
Naturally, the use of birth control pills should prevent
the growth of cysts in the ovaries. Therefore, the occurrence of cysts when a
woman is using birth control pills may be an indication of an abnormality. Such
growths have a higher chance of being cancerous and thus the need for ovarian
cyst removal.
Ovarian
Cysts During Pregnancy
Although removal during pregnancy is rare, there are
times when it is necessary. This is so especially in cases where the cysts on
ovaries have a negative impact on a woman’s ability to both keep and have a
successful pregnancy.
N/B
Prevention is always better than cure.
In case you already have cysts in your ovaries, using
natural methods of getting rid of them is advisable as they do not have any
side effects. Some natural treatments are also more effective than conventional
treatments. This is in addition to being cheaper. Ovarian cyst removal is thus
not the best option as far as treatments go.
