Natural Treatment Of Ovarian Cysts Should You Listen To
Your Doctor?
By: Lucille Stone
What do you do when the doctor diagnoses you with an ovarian cyst? What thoughts go through your head? Are you worried that it may be cancerous or that it may affect your ability to have children? Well the good news is that the majority of ovarian cysts are benign and do not affect your ability to have children but, whilst a lot of cysts dissolve naturally within a month or two, some can grow and these are the ones that cause a lot of pain and distress. The bad news is that your doctor will not prescribe natural treatment of ovarian cysts but will instead administer birth control pills to attempt to adjust your hormone imbalance and prevent you from ovulating, or he may say that you need to have surgery.
Now surgery is the last thing any woman wants to have, particularly when it is related to her reproductive system. But what are her options? Well she could carry on with the contraceptive pill prescribed by her doctor, but in many cases this makes matters worse and could, in the long term, make it harder for her to become pregnant. Or she could follow the advice suggested below that will naturally ease the pain and help shrink the cyst and prevent it from coming back.
The production of cysts is mainly governed by imbalances in either insulin or hormone levels and both of these factors can be tackled in a variety of natural ways. Too much sugar triggers a rise in insulin levels, which in turn produces too much of a chemical called androgen, which prevents an egg from leaving its sac. This can have the effect of making the sac grow into a cyst. To prevent this from happening it is vital to cut back on sugar in your diet and to include more vegetables, grains and fruit. This will not only help keep your insulin at a safe level but has the added bonus of helping weight loss.
Hormones can be regulated with the use of natural herbs or vitamins. Dandelion and Chaste Berry are just a couple of herbs that help to cleanse the liver, regulate the menstrual cycle and balance hormone levels and a visit to your local health food store will open up your eyes to a wide choice of natural products that will also help insulin levels.
Finally, a really easy remedy that can be done at home to take away the pain, is to rub some castor oil over your abdomen and then cover it with some cling film. On top of that you can put a heat pad and then just lay back and relax. In a very short time you will feel the pain float away and feel instantly relaxed.
So many women are led to believe that medication or surgery are the only options, but believe me when I tell you that natural treatment of ovarian cysts can and does work. You no longer have to live with the pain, bloated stomach and feeling of nausea that are all symptoms of an ovarian cyst.
