Cysts
may form in any part of the body and when they do so in
or around the female reproductive organ, namely, the
ovary, they are called ovarian cysts. Ovarian cysts may
vary in size, type, formation and conduct. Though most
of them are benign in nature, i.e., non-cancerous, they
may cause several symptoms including weariness,
exhaustion, pressure or pain on the bladder and rectum,
irregular menstrual cycles, lower back pain, painful
instead of pleasurable sex act, tenderness in the
breast -
the end result of all these upsetting episodes being
tiredness and fatigue. The fatigue is more
marked in the case of some ovarian cysts that
tend to turn cancerous.
Meanwhile,
it may be prudent to analyze the cause of the
fatigue or tiredness associated with some of the
ovarian cysts. Take the case of the cystadenoma -
they are actually cysts that get formed from cells that
can be seen on the outer side of the ovaries and can
grow to very large size. A recent case created uproar in
the medical profession when a 37 year old woman was
diagnosed with a mucinous cystaadenoma cyst or tumor in
her abdomen that weighed 328 lb or 149 kg when removed.
No wonder the lady was dead tired all the while,
carrying such a heavy extra load in the swollen abdomen.
Though such cases are rather rare, tales of women
carrying grapefruit-sized cysts in their abdomen are not
unheard of episodes. The worst part is the asymptomatic
nature of these cysts; the only symptom associated with
them being extreme tiredness and fatigue. These cysts
can only be diagnosed during routine check up of a woman
complaining abdominal pain due to some other reason than
formation of cyst.
Yet
another type of cyst that causes excessive fatigue and
tiredness in women is the dermoid cyst, clinically
termed 'cystic teratoma' that can be more classed as
tumor than mere cyst. As a fairly bizarre phenomenon,
this is more or less a solid structure that is filled
with fragments of bone, teeth, hair, pockets of blood
and even in some cases 'thyroid tissue'. This type of
cyst not only creates physical fatigue but also cause
emotional fatigue in women. And no one can blame the
woman for the weariness that she can feel, carrying such
weird contents in her abdomen.
Then
there are the endometrial cysts or chocolate cysts that
may grow in other parts of the body and can then attach
themselves on the ovary, containing dark chocolate
colored stale blood. During each menstrual cycle, these
endometrial patches of tissues that have been
encapsulated in the cyst will also bleed. But since
there is no outlet for the decayed blood to escape, they
go on getting larger in size, causing tiredness and
fatigue to the unfortunate woman.
The
best way to fight fatigue is through holistic
medications. The holistic approach treats the body and
the mind as a whole and tries to remove the fatigue
while making the person healthier and refreshed. Because
of this the natural immunity of the body is also
improved and the person can fight diseases better. As
opposed to this, conventional medicines just treat the
symptoms and as a result, what caused the cyst is never
known. Holistic remedies attempts to find out all the
contributing factors of the cyst and then finds out ways
to beat each one of them. Thus, the holistic approach is
more scientific and it provides better results
too.
