The follicular ovarian cyst is the most common kind of ovarian cyst. It is basically a sac inside the ovary filled with fluids. In the normal procedure a follicle that contains the egg is in fact a fluid filled cyst. When due to some unusual reason the follicle doesn’t release the egg and continues to grow, then it forms a cyst. Generally, the cysts resolve with little or no treatment during a few months time.
The
follicular
ovarian cyst
generally occurs during the time ovulation and it can
grow up to 2 to 3 inches. The
most common form of symptom caused by a cyst is pain.
The pain occurs when a cyst ruptures or twists on its
self. Such a situation can lead to severe pain and lots
of discomfort. The pain caused by follicular cysts is
called mittelschmerz and is it occurs during the middle
of the monthly cycle. Only about ¼ of women who suffer
from follicular
ovarian cyst have to face this pain.
In
most cases the presence of cysts goes unnoticed. The
reason being; the cysts generally don’t cause any kind
of symptom. If the cysts don’t have any symptoms then
their detection is generally accidental. They are found
during routine pelvic check up or during an ultra sound
examination. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, based on
the size and condition of the cyst treatment is started.
In most cases cysts are benign in nature and rarely
cause much trouble. But there might be discomfort, pain,
irregular periods and pain during
intercourse.
But
sometimes the cyst might cause severe excruciating pain.
In such cases it is important to opt for surgery. Once
the surgery is done the cyst is generally sent to the
lab to detect the nature of the cyst, just in case it
might be malignant. But generally in the case of follicular ovarian
cysts they are benign in nature. However do
remember that ovarian cyst surgeries may come with
complications. So always consider this before opting for
surgery.
Let's take a cursory glance over the causes and symptoms of the follicular ovarian cyst before continuing with our discussion
Causes: the
follicular
ovarian cyst is caused when the follicle fails
to release the egg and fills up with
fluid.
Symptoms-
The
symptoms of these cysts though rarely appear but still
based on their size there might be a few symptoms
present-
·
Pain
in the lower abdomen during the monthly
period
·
Your
monthly cycle is delayed
·
Your
vagina might bleed when your monthly cycle is not going
on
When
a follicular cyst twists on itself you might
face:
·
Severe
pain accompanied with vomiting and
cyst
If
the cyst ruptures:
·
Severe
pain after or during sex
If
you face any of these symptoms you should immediately go
to a doctor, as a ruptured or twisted cyst might cause
bleeding and to stop it you might require immediate
surgery.
Though
surgery helps in getting rid of the cyst, it does not
provide a guarantee regarding their recurrence. Even
when a cyst has been completely removed it might occur
again. The best way to deal with ovarian cysts is the
holistic approach. The holistic approach addresses not
the symptoms but the root cause of the cysts. It not
minimizes or in fact eliminates the risk of their
recurring again; with the help of the holistic approach
you can prevent the situation completely.
The conventional modes of treatment only treat the problem right in front without worrying about what might be causing it. But the truth is there is a plethora of reasons that can cause ovarian cysts. Causes can range from physical to mental to environmental reasons. In a particular case a woman might be more prone to this problem due to some genetic formation. But through the help of holistic approach we can alter our genetic structure too, though of course only up to a certain level. But this little help is enough to prevent the problem. Holistic approach helps in preventing the cysts from occurring again and builds up the resistance power and strengthens the immune system again to fight with the problems. The holistic approach emphasizes a healthy life style and a healthy diet that helps in building a healthy person.
