cm ovarian cysts and their treatments
Ovarian
cysts are formed when the follicles inside the ovaries
that contain the maturing egg fail to release the egg
due to some unusual reason. Or when the opening of the
follicle again closes up after the egg has been released
and continues to grow, it forms a cyst.
Generally
cysts are benign in nature i.e. they do not cause any
harm and are generally asymptomatic i.e. they do not
have any symptoms. In most cases the diagnosis of such a
cyst is generally accidental. They are detected during a
routine pelvic examination or an ultrasound conducted
for some other reason. These cysts generally disappear
on their own in a few months time with little or no
medication. But there are some symptoms that might
sometimes give you an idea that you might be suffering
from ovarian cysts; a dull throbbing pain in your
abdomen, pain in the pelvic area, irregular
menstruations, too heavy or too low flow than normal,
pain during sex, tenderness in the breast area, an urge
to urinate too often, vomiting and nausea.
Sometimes
a cyst might rupture or burst or even twist on itself.
In such cases there might be severe excruciating pain
and bleeding. Such a case requires immediate and
appropriate medical treatment, it might also require
surgery. Sometimes a cyst might be found to be cancerous
or malignant in nature, though generally cysts are
benign in nature. When an ovarian cyst occurs during a
woman's post menopausal stage, the cyst has more chances
of turning malignant.
The
size of the ovarian cysts can vary from a little pea
size to that of soccer balls. Some cysts can grow so big
that they start creating pressure on other organs; such
as when a cyst starts putting pressure on the bladder
you might find that you need to urinate more often or
that you feel the urge to urinate more
often.
A
4.2 cm ovarian cyst
If
you have an ovarian cyst smaller than 4.2 or 4 cm then
the doctor will suggest regular ultrasounds, so that the
cyst can be monitored regularly and carefully. Simple
cysts that are smaller than 4.2 cm disappear with little
medication. But if the ultrasound shows that the cyst is
still growing then it requires a more serious approach.
Complicated or complex cysts need to be removed by
surgery irrespective of their size.
Though
in some cases surgery is the only option available but
in many cases the surgery can be avoided if you opt for
the holistic approach when looking for a cure for
ovarian cysts. The conventional methods only address the
symptoms without bothering about the cause. A cyst
larger than 4.2 cm might be removed with surgery and the
problem solved for the time being. But the factor that
caused the cyst remains and in a few years of time
another cyst maybe much bigger than the last one occurs
again. Surgery can't guarantee that the cyst won't form
again.
But
holistic approach addresses the root cause and
eliminates it. There are various factors that can lead
to the formation of ovarian cysts. Factors ranging from
physical to emotional, to environmental; diet related
factors to factors related to lifestyle. The holistic
approach takes everything into consideration, it treats
each cyst as unique and tries to identify the cause
behind it and then eliminate it completely. Holistic
approach can definitely help you if you are looking for
a complete cure for ovarian cysts.
