What you need to know about traditional approach towards Ovarian Cyst:
The traditional approach to Ovarian Cyst itself is not different from other traditional treatments. Here you’ll have to do it in three steps:- Identifying Symptoms: Symptoms of an Ovarian Cyst is easy to know as it is available and can be found easily on the net. Let me remind you again here- the symptoms are an irregular period, lower abdominal pain, infertility etc. Most of the symptoms are not solely due to an Ovarian Cyst. They have other causes also. On the other hand, many times the ovarian cysts do not produce symptoms. They are found incidentally while investigating for other reasons like ultrasonogram for pregnancy or any gynecological examination.
- Making a Diagnosis: Making a diagnosis is not always pain-free. There are different investigations available for diagnosing Ovarian Cysts. These can be listed as Ultrasound, CT scan, MRI, PET, Laparoscopy etc. Supportive tests may include the blood test to see hormonal levels, tumor markers etc. Results of these tests along with clinical findings of symptoms make it easy to reach a diagnosis.
- Treatment & Follow up: Treatment option depends on the diagnosis. As there are different types of ovarian cyst, treatment is different as well. For a benign ovarian cyst, most of the time no treatment required. But if it’s not benign, or larger in size or non-follicular ovarian cyst then there are some treatment options available-
- Pain Killer
- Hormone pill: Hormone pills like birth control pills are used most of the time to stop ovulation. This pause in ovulation helps to decrease the size of already existing cysts in the ovary.
- Surgical Removal: When ovarian cyst condition gets complicated, surgical removal becomes the primary options. Conditions that may lead to this situation are Ovarian Cyst that is cancerous, very large cyst, a cyst that doesn’t go away on conservative management, the cyst is not like a simple follicular cyst etc.
If you closely look through the above mentioned three steps for an ovarian cyst you’ll find that last two steps also gives pain in addition to the existing ovarian cyst pain. You’ll have to go through these pains with a traditional approach to the ovarian cyst.
There is another approach that can alleviate your pain significantly. This approach is known as a holistic approach.
The natural holistic approach looks to your problem’s root cause. If the root cause can be eliminated by bringing the inner natural balance back to a normal level then the problem will go away by itself easily. If you want long term, non-recurrent pain-free relief from ovarian cyst then the holistic approach is the answer for you. But this is also true that some form of ovarian cyst requires a surgical removal with no alternative.
Always consult your doctor besides learning about the traditional treatment of ovarian cyst so that you can take a wise decision regarding the treatment plan of your ovarian cyst. Remember, most of the cysts do not require treatment, they go away naturally. Sometimes they come and go away without notice.
