The ovaries are part of the female reproductive system. They’re located in the lower abdomen on both sides of the uterus. Women have two ovaries that produce eggs, as well as the hormones estrogen and progesterone.

Sometimes, a fluid-filled sac called a cyst will develop on one of the ovaries.  In most cases, cysts are painless and cause no symptoms.

Cysts are formed because of hormonal disturbances.

Symptoms of an Ovarian Cyst

Often times, ovarian cysts do not cause any symptoms. However, symptoms can appear as the cyst grows. Symptoms may include:

• Disturbance of menstrual cycle
• abdominal bloating or swelling
• painful bowel movements
• pelvic pain before or during the menstrual cycle
• painful intercourse
• pain in the lower back or thighs
• breast tenderness
• nausea and vomiting

 Treatment

Homoeopathic medicine is strongly recommended for ovarian cyst.  Do not go for surgery until and unless medicinal treatment becomes unresponsive. Usually 4-5 months are sufficient to give results.

Common myth –

Generally the cyst diagnosed on ultrasound in patients of menstrual irregularities. After cyst detection we understand that all the menstrual related problems are due to this cyst but this is not so. Hormonal imbalance is the root cause of ovarian cyst.

Surgical removal gives relief in symptoms like

• Pelvic pain during menstrual cycle
• Painful intercourse
• Bloating and fullness of abdomen

But generally there will be no relief in menstrual irregularities.
