The ovarian cyst is a small, hollow mass filled with fluid. In most cases, it develops from a follicle matured in this organ. Some cysts are not dangerous and pass, often, on their own, without causing harm to the woman. They are called functional. Others, however, are considered abnormal (most often those that do not disappear in 3-4 months) that appear due to hormonal disruptions in the body. Before treating an ovarian cyst, it is necessary to talk about this with a competent doctor who will prescribe therapy depending on the complexity of the disease and form.
2 methods are used: conservative (medication) and surgical. For uncomplicated formations, most often, taking oral contraceptives (hormonal), which the doctor will prescribe, is enough. In addition, a vitamin complex is recommended for women. If the body weight is increased against the background of the disease, diet therapy, physiotherapy exercises may be needed. In some cases, acupuncture is practiced, homeopathic medicines are prescribed. Results are monitored by ultrasound.
If the above procedures do not give an effect, then the doctors answer the question "how to treat an ovarian cyst" with "surgical intervention". Women with dermoid, endometriotic, mucinous formations are sent to this method of treatment. Surgery is also suggested if the disease can lead to the development of a tumor or infertility. A preliminary histological examination is carried out, giving more information about the appearance of the cyst and the cause of its appearance. Currently, laparoscopy, which is not too painful and quite effective, is actively used to remove this formation. Hormone therapy may then be recommended.
There are alternative methods of treating ovarian cysts . It is worth remembering that before starting their use it is recommended to consult with a specialist how compatible the infusions and decoctions with the medicines prescribed by the doctor are. It is necessary that the therapy be comprehensive.
So, raisin tincture is widely used for this purpose. To do this, 300 grams of dried fruit is poured with a bottle of vodka, infused for two weeks in a dark, warm place. It is necessary to take tincture in a tablespoon before eating. Often the result is visible after a month.
If we talk about how to treat ovarian cysts with folk remedies, we cannot but mention onion tampons. For this, the core of the fetus (no more than 2 cm) is placed in the morning in honey. In the evening she gets, wrapped in gauze in the form of a tampon and placed in the vagina at night. It is advised to repeat the procedure for at least 10 days, after which the disease often disappears.
If an endometriotic ovarian cyst is detected, the specialist will prescribe treatment, most likely, surgical. However, before the operation (after agreement with the doctor), you can try to use the following decoctions. Sheets of nettle, currant, mint, wormwood, cassava, thyme and hawthorn fruits are mixed in equal proportions. Dry herbs are poured with boiling water and insist for a while. Internal use of the drink is recommended.
2 tablespoons goose cinquefoil is poured with two glasses of boiling water, insisted for a while, the liquid is filtered. A decoction of half a cup is taken a few minutes before a meal. It should be noted that a course of treatment with herbs should not last longer than 3 months, and if it does not give an effect, you should consult a doctor again, as surgery may be necessary.
Before treating an ovarian cyst with medications or folk remedies, it is important to check with the gynecologist about the causes of its appearance and effective ways to eliminate the disease, since only he can correctly answer this question.
