Many women have struggled with the pain of ovarian cysts using all kinds of prescription pain relievers. This type of cysts occurs when a fluid sac develops on or within the ovary. While most cysts cause no symptoms whatsoever, some do cause pain ranging from mild to debilitating. Cysts can range in size also and can be as small as a pea or can grow to the size of a small melon.
Many cysts are small and will disappear on their own. Luckily cysts are very often not cancerous. Having one cyst does not necessarily mean that a woman has a chronic condition. Endometriosis is one such condition that causes cysts on the outside of the uterine wall. A doctor can eliminate cancer, endometriosis and any other chronic condition.
Birth Control: If you have the type of cysts that come and go with each menstrual cycle, your doctor may recommend going on birth control pills. When you take the oral contraceptives only and skip the sugar pills that allow your body to start your cycle, you can prevent your period from starting. This, in turn, will help to prevent the ovarian cysts from forming and relieve you of the pain associated with them.
Cystectomy: In case your cysts do not go away on their own, but you do not suffer from cancerous cysts, then your doctor may recommend a Cystectomy. What does it mean? The cyst will be removed permanently. Many women are afraid that they will no be able to give birth to a child anymore. But this is not the case. Your ovaries will stay fully functional.
Oophorectomy: For more extreme cases of ovarian cysts, such as cancerous cells and those that are located within the ovary, the treatment may be an oophorectomy. This is the surgical removal of the ovary and those undergoing this treatment will no longer be able to have children. When this treatment is used, you may then be prescribed hormone replacement therapy. This, however, depends upon your personal health history.
To prevent diagnosis problems related to cysts, a woman should mention any and all symptoms related to her abdomen and period cycles. A doctor should perform a pelvic exam that could reveal any extrodinary mass that might be cyst. Then a sonogram can show if and where a cyst has grown. Sometimes a doctor suggests that the cyst is too small to cause problems and that time will cause it to disappear on its own.
