We are discussing in detail hives and ovarian cyst in this article
Ovarian
cysts in women have been associated with different kinds
of complications. Even though ovarian cysts mostly occur
as functional cysts (i.e., they do not indicate a
disease condition), and are usually benign in nature,
often going away by themselves, there have been many
cases where they have persisted in the human body, have
grown in size and ultimately, have led to serious
complications. Let's take a look at one such side effect
viz. hives.
Hives,
also known as urticaria or nettle rash, is a dermal
disease. In other words, it affects the largest organ of
our body, viz. the skin. Hives appear due to some sort
of an allergic reaction. Hives can display many
symptoms. However, the most prominent symptom is the
appearance of red-colored skin wheals or welts,
resembling small raised lumps, which can erupt in
different parts of the body including the facial region,
the throat and the ears. The welts vary widely in size.
They usually cause varying degrees of discomfort and in
severe cases, may even cause an extreme itching,
stinging or burning sensation.
Ovarian
cysts have often been linked to hives.
Even though conclusive evidence is not yet available to
confirm the nexus, many women with advanced cases of
ovarian cysts have complained about hives. Ovarian cysts
start off by displaying very few to no symptoms at all.
But the condition may deteriorate and acute symptoms may
start to make themselves visible or felt. Such symptoms
include pain in the abdomen and the pelvic region,
abnormal or excessive bleeding during periods, increased
frequency of urination (caused by an overgrown cyst
pressing against the urinary bladder), and more.
Outbreak of hives is another symptom. If it occurs, you
are advised to undergo a medical exam to determine if it
has been caused by ovarian cysts.
Over-the-counter
birth control medication, according to various studies
and surveys, has been shown to help control the
situation. Women who regularly take birth control pills
have a lesser chance of developing ovarian cysts.
However, opinions vary in this regard and there are many
experts who strongly discredit the idea of taking pills
for ovarian cysts prevention. This is because stopping
ovulation could lead to other forms of complications
like PCOS and multiple cysts.
It
has been shown time and again that the benefits of
maintaining a healthy life style, and creating a healthy
and good balance, are immense. Interestingly, this is
also the best preventive measure you can take up against
hives and ovarian cysts. Contact the dietician
and let him plan a healthy diet regimen - plus you will
also need a fitness program that the trainer can devise.
This constitutes what is known as the holistic approach.
Lead a healthy lifestyle and there is no need for any
medication and thus, you can escape from the adverse
effects of such medications. The natural approach will
lead to a balanced lifestyle and this is the better
approach. Talk with your physician today about how you
can start getting well the holistic
way.
