Ovarian Cysts Can Have Serious Complications

Anyone who has a cyst in the ovary is prone to various complications that may arise from it. Thus if there are certain symptoms, it is always best to go for a pelvic scan or examination. Sometimes the size of the cyst can also be very large and when this is the case, the abdominal pain can be acute. In some cases, the cyst also presses the urinary bladder and so the person may need to urinate more often. Ovarian cyst treatments are most successfully achieved through holistic remedies.
There is yet another reason why you should have a check up done for ovarian cysts and other pelvic conditions and that is that some women develop ovarian cysts that are not commonly found. These are painless and do not result in any of the common symptoms which accompany the usual type of ovarian cysts. It is these uncommon types of cysts that can cause complications. It has also been found that sometimes the symptoms are hard to distinguish from those found at the time of pregnancy. As a matter of fact, many women have only come to realize that they have developed ovarian cysts after they have bled severely. Initially, they mistook this bleeding for miscarriage.
It is not that only a malignant cyst can cause complications, but cysts that do cause complications are not benign in nature. And it is only at a very late stage that you might be able to realize the pain or the symptoms of the cyst. Ovarian cysts can also affect the fertility of the patient. There might be cases where a cyst occurs when the patient has already reached her menopause, in such cases complications are bound to occur and most of these cysts turn cancerous.
We give below examples of the non functional kind of ovarian cysts that are known to cause more complications.
(1) Dermoid Cysts in the Ovary: These cysts may get formed from cells that produce the eggs and because of this; the cysts may have skin, hair, teeth and other human tissues. Though they are not cancerous, but in cases where they are too big, they may lead to pain and other complications such as the ovary becoming twisted.
(2) Endometriomas: The uterus cells help the cyst to grow but it grows on the uterus’ outside - but it is still attached to the ovary.
3) Cystadenomas: A cyst that is filled with fluids, these can grow to a size of 12 inches. These ovarian cysts can cause complications such as the twisting of the ovary.
The type pf the cyst also determines what the complications are. Those cysts that are non functional, are the ones that lead to the maximum complications. The reason behind this is the fact that functional cysts can be treated with medications and also through surgery. And those cysts that cannot be classified also lead to complications as their causes are not identified - as a result, the treatment is also not determined. Having sex while carrying the cyst is not good as there can be a lot of pain and some bleeding too.
But all these complications related to ovarian cysts can be treated. But most of the conventional treatments focus only on the symptoms rather than on the root cause of the problem. The holistic approach on the other hand emphasizes the need to eliminate the root cause of the ovarian cysts instead of just treating the symptoms. The root cause of the ovarian cyst may vary from obesity to a weak immune system, accumulation of toxics in the digestive system, genetics and poor diet and various other health related issues.
Therefore, it is important to adopt the holistic approach if you want to cure the complications of ovarian cysts completely. This lays emphasis on treating the real cause of the malady rather than just dealing with its symptoms.
