Ovarian Cysts and PCOS are painful and uncomfortable. The only options are to let them rupture on their own or have surgery depending on the size and kind of cysts. A cyst is a fluid-filled sac. They can form anywhere in the body. Ovarian cysts form in or on the ovaries. The most common type of ovarian cyst is a functional cyst. There are several different types of cysts, most are not cancerous.
What are the symptoms of ovarian cysts?
Many ovarian cysts don't cause symptoms. Others can cause:- Pressure, swelling, or pain in the abdomen
- Pelvic pain
- Dull ache in the lower back and thighs
- Problems passing urine completely
- Pain during sex
- Weight gain
- Pain during your period
- Abnormal bleeding
- Nausea or vomiting
- Breast tenderness
- Pain with fever and vomiting
- Sudden, severe abdominal pain
- Faintness, dizziness, or weakness
- Rapid breathing
How are ovarian cysts found?
- Usually during a routine pelvic exam a Doctor can palpate the abdominal region and feel the swelling caused by the cyst. Test also include: ultrasound, pregnancy test, hormone level tests and blood tests.
How are cysts treated?
Because cysts are quite common and usually rupture on their own with slight discomfort watchful waiting is the most common treatment in the early stages. You may be told to come back after several weeks to get a second exam to if the cyst has changed size.. This is a common treatment option for women who:- Are in their childbearing years
- Have no symptoms
- Have a fluid-filled cyst
Surgery. Your doctor may want to remove the cyst if you are postmenopausal, or if it:
- Doesn't go away after several menstrual cycles
- Gets larger
- Looks odd on the ultrasound
- Causes pain
- Laparoscopy Done if the cyst is small and looks benign (noncancerous) on the ultrasound. While you are under general anesthesia, a very small cut is made above or below your navel. A small instrument that acts like a telescope is put into your abdomen. Then your doctor can remove the cyst.
- Laparotomy Done if the cyst is large and may be cancerous. While you are under general anesthesia, larger incisions are made in the stomach to remove the cyst. The cyst is then tested for cancer. If it is cancerous, the doctor may need to take out the ovary and other tissues, like the uterus. If only one ovary is taken out, your body is still fertile and can still produce estrogen.
Birth control pills. Are another option
that Doctors use to prevent you from ovulating. I believe that our diet and lifestyle plays a huge role in
the development and growth of cysts. Obesity, poor diet, diabetes, and other
conditions have a direct affect on our hormone levels. Excess abdominal fat actually
releases male hormones in women and female hormones in men. This excess
abdominal fat in woman can attribute to PCOS Polycystic Ovarian Cysts. Women
with PCOS usually have high levels of androgens (male hormones). Of course
genetics has a role but overall If we are to Reign in Health in Fitness I
believe that it’s best to find the most natural remedies to cure and treat so
that surgery and other harsh solutions will be our last resort and not our
first. I believe that as we begin to make the necessary lifestyle adjustments, improve our health and fitness we will see less diseases and ailments not only in our lives but in lives of our family members as well!
