An ovarian cyst is a small sac filled with fluid or semisolid material that forms on or within one or both of your ovaries. There are different types of ovarian cysts, most of which are painless and noncancerous. Ovarian cysts don’t always cause symptoms.
Anyone with ovaries can develop an ovarian cyst. Your chances increase based on your age, pregnancy status, history of ovarian cysts, current medical condition, abnormal cell reproduction, endometriosis, or PCOS. Some smaller cysts cause no symptoms. Large cysts may cause pelvic pain or a dull ache in your back, painful periods, irregular periods, mild discomfort, or a feeling of fullness.
Other symptoms of a burst ovarian cyst are vaginal bleeding, nausea or vomiting and bloating. Your healthcare provider will use some tests to diagnose an ovarian cyst like a pelvic examination and ultrasound.
Ayurveda is a holistic science that can be quite effective when it comes to treating ovarian cysts. This form of medication has no side effects and hence can be prescribed to women of all ages. Apart from medication, Ayurveda also includes changes in lifestyle and diet which is customised by your ayurvedic physician as per individual symptoms. Ayurvedic herbs help balance the hormones in a woman’s body and thereby improve the overall functioning of the ovaries.
