There
has been a huge rise in the cases of ovarian
cysts, and this means that the issue is
quite serious. Even the medical world throughout the
globe has become baffled. Well, prior to making any
further approach, there must be a complete appraisal of
ovarian cyst, and its basic
nature.
What
Are Ovarian Cysts?
Ovarian
cysts are fluid filled growths that remain surrounded by
an extremely thin wall inside the ovary. Any form of
ovarian follicle, which is larger than two centimeters,
is named an ovarian cyst. It is worthwhile to mention
here that an ovarian cyst can be of several shapes and
it can be in different sizes as well. It can be small
like a pea, or it could also be bigger than an
orange.
The
majority of ovarian cysts are functional in nature. In
the US and
elsewhere in the world as well, ovarian cysts are found
in almost every pre-menopausal woman. And surprisingly,
these cysts have been found in as many as 14.8% of all
post-menopausal women
as well. A
lot of authentic medical reports confirm that ovarian
cysts can be found in women of all ages. Yes, though
women can have them even after menopause (for entirely
different reasons as there is no ovulation), but in
reality, most women who are in the childbearing age has
them.
Why
Is It Necessary To Manage The Ovarian
Cyst?
There
are many people who believe that the coming of these
cysts cannot be controlled (because these cysts keep
coming frequently even after the last ones had gone
away), and so the only option left is to learn how to
manage them. The term 'manage' here refers to trying to
control the symptoms and providing some relief from them
such as the intense pain.
Management of ovarian cyst also refers to the attempt to
reduce them in size through medical intervention, and
finally dissolving them.
But
whatever it is, it is essential that you learn how to
steer clear of any perilous effects that can harm you in
the long run. Do always remember that successful
management of ovarian cyst should always start with
identifying the symptoms and a proper
diagnosis.
The
cysts can be treated medically by birth control pills
that can affect the pituitary gland. If at any time a
patient is detected with these cysts when she is
examined, they can be removed with the tubal reversal
surgery. However there are some instances where surgery
cannot be considered as a feasible option. Also, all
kinds of surgery can lead to complications, and thus,
surgery must always be the last option
really.
Ovarian
Cyst Removal Methods
Ovarian cyst removal
methods can be divided into two broad
categories, and they are -
1)
Medical
2)
Surgical
Here
are the various surgical options for managing the
cyst.
Conventional
surgery: Conventional surgery does play a
vital role at times, and it can be considered only when
it is a non-malignant cyst. In such a surgery, just the
cyst is removed, and the ovaries remain, which is of
course great news - it is known as ovarian cystectomy
. The injury to the
tissues is also the least, and there is also minimal
bleeding. Can there be side effects? The truth is, there
are indeed some side effects such as growth of
excruciating "adhesions" on the ovaries, sterility, or
unwarranted sensitivity during
intercourse.
Laparoscopic
method:
Often laparoscopic surgery is carried out to remove the
offending cyst. Holes are made in the abdomen from where
the surgeon pushes in equipment to remove the cyst. This
is a good method because there is no need to cut open
the abdomen, the pain is less and the recovery time is
also quick.
Hysterectomy:
This is another surgical method that is often
employed.
Surgery
can indeed remove the cyst, but since the root cause
remain, they cysts often return. And of course surgery
cannot do anything about this.
Additional
Ways Of Ovarian Cysts
Management
There
are certain other things that you could do to manage the
symptoms such as the pain. You should exercise
regularly, or at least do some walking or swimming
because this helps control your pain
and distress. You could also take some pain killers to
reduce the pain, which can become quite acute at times.
And a good diet can also help
greatly.
Can
Holistic Remedies Work?
Yes
certainly. In fact, holistic remedies always give better
results than conventional treatments and also surgeries.
With most treatments just the symptoms of the condition
go away, because they just treat the symptoms and not
the root causes. Holistic remedies on the other hand
treat the body as a whole to eradicate all the root
causes, and thus once the causes are eradicated, the
symptoms go away too. Holistic remedies are completely
safe and the results are permanent.
