Ovarian Cyst Pain: Why Using Birth Control Pills Is Not The Answer To Eliminating Ovarian Cyst Pain.

By Lisa Page

Do you find yourself bending over in unbearable ovarian cyst pain just when your menstrual period is about to start or just before it ends? Or even though you are on birth control pills you still get ovarian cyst pain on a regular basis and your doctor does not really know what to do?

The truth is that the conventional method of treating ovarian cyst using birth control pills to shrink ovarian cyst is not as effective as we have been made to believe.

If they are as effective as we have been told, many woman would not end up on those theatre beds having a surgery to remove their ovarian cyst after using birth control pills for many years.

The reason your doctor prescribes contraceptive pills to get rid of ovarian cyst pain is so that you don't ovulate.

But you see if you already had a cyst before you start using the pills, the pills will not do anything to shrink that cyst. True, new cysts may not develop but what about the old ones that are already there?

Any already existing cyst may continue to cause you pain, discomfort and not to mention the potential for it to rupture or twist on itself.

Aside from that, birth control pills have a long list of negative side effects such as unexplained weight gain, high blood pressure, blood clots, gallbladder disease just to mention a few.

What about when you are ready to have children? It is impossible to keep using contraceptive pills and expect to conceive. So what do you do?

You need to get to the root cause of your ovarian cyst pain and get rid of it from there and not just treat the symptoms like birth control pills do.

How do you get rid of Ovarian Cyst Pain? One simple step is to stop or at least reduce the oestrogen pills (birth control pills) as prescribed by your doctor and start applying natural progesterone cream.

But doing this alone will not eliminate your ovarian cyst completely, but is it virtually impossible to talk about all you need to know in a single article. - 29860

Ovarian Cyst Removal - What You Need To Know Before You Let Your Doctor Cut You Open.

By Lisa Page

Are you considering surgery as the only ovarian cyst removal option available to you? If so there is one question you have to be able to answer without a shadow of doubt and that question is - Have you exhausted all other available options of treatment?

If for whatever reason you haven't considered all options of treatment then you need to continue reading.

There are two main surgical ways of removing ovarian cysts - laparoscopy and laparotomy.

Laparoscopy is used if the cyst is small and benign and is performed under general anaesthesia. It involves an incision into the abdomen and a small surgical instrument used to remove the cyst.

The other ovarian cyst removal method - laparotomy is a more complex form of surgery and is usually used where the surgeon suspects the cyst to be cancerous or at the risk of being cancerous.

Again this surgery is done under general anaesthesia but involves making a bigger incision in the abdomen.

This is so that if need be the doctor will be able to remove surrounding tissues such as the lymph nodes if there is a chance that it can become cancerous as well.

The important thing to note is that ovarian cancer is very rare and that the vast majority of surgeries are unnecessary.

The biggest decision you have to make is just before you go under that surgical knife when you fill out the form giving the surgeon consent to not only remove cyst but also your ovary or potentially uterus if they think it may cause you problems.

After the surgery you may wake you to discover you are now unable to have children for the rest of your life because your ovaries have been removed or that you will need to be on hormone replacement therapy forever.

The question is have you exhausted all other options of removing ovarian cyst and is surgery your last resort? If your answer is yes, then by means go ahead with the surgery.

But if you have not considered and tried other forms of treatment such as natural and holistic healing combining a mixture of diet, exercise, stress management, reducing toxin overload, and using natural hormones then you are leaving out a form of ovarian cyst removal treatment that has helped thousands of women. - 29860
