Ovarian cysts are a very common condition amongst women today and traditionally their cysts have been treated by medicine or at worst, ovarian cyst surgery. Ovarian cysts are thought to be caused by poor diet and exposure to certain toxic chemicals. Young women with PCOS (the condition of multiple cysts on ovaries) have a tendency to eat far too much sugar and highly refined carbohydrates. These foods cause an unhealthy rise in insulin levels and this in turn stimulates androgen receptors on the outside of the ovaries which then causes the symptoms of PCOS such as excessive facial hair, thin hair on the head, and acne. Eventually this can lead to obesity which aggravates the PCOS even further causing malfunctions in the ovulation process together with the formation of ovarian cysts.
An ultrasound will determine the presence and size of cysts on the ovaries and most doctors will undoubtedly adopt a wait and see approach whilst prescribing pain killers or birth control pills dring that period. The trouble with this procedure is that painkillers and contraceptive pills only serve to mask the conditions and act only as temporary relief, whilst surgery will remove existing cysts but does not get to the underlying cause of the problem, and so too often the cysts keep recurring.
No woman wants to be constantly popping painkiller or contraceptives, since these can have unpleasant side effect in the long term nor does she want to keep visiting the doctor for a review on her cysts only to find that they have grown in size and that eventually the doctor will advise surgery. So what are her options? Some cysts may ultimately require surgery, if they appear to be dangerous, but many can be shrunk effectively by natural methods.
One of the best possible ways to avoid ovarian cyst surgery is to get the body back into order and regain a natural hormone balance so that ovulation functions properly. This can be done by increasing fruit and vegetables in the diet and by drinking plenty of water and herbal teas to flush out the system and get things moving properly. Try wherever possible to eat organic produce since this has not been contaminated by the use of toxic chemicals and antibiotics. Avoid highly refined carbohydrates such as those found in potato chips, corn chips, pasta and white rice. Natural substances such as Oil of evening Primrose can also be taken to help regulate the menstrual cycle. Pain can be eased with the use of heat, in the form of a heated pad or hot water bottle placed on the affected area and good old fashioned exercise also works wonders at helping rid the body of pain.
These are just a couple of suggestions of natural treatments that a woman can do herself to help shrink ovarian cysts and ultimately prevent ovarian cyst surgery, but there are many other natural remedies than can be introduced that will help her body to function more effectively and make her feel like a new woman.
