Ovarian Cysts and Nonconventional nonsurgical treatment?

Question

I was diagnosed with somewhat large cysts on both ovaries this summer. One cyst is complex (which means it could be an endometrioma or a dermoid cyst) and the other looks like a large fluid or blood filled cyst but they don't know for sure. The doctors are recommending surgery but I don't want to try surgery as of yet. I am currently on birth control pills to help with cysts and I also am going to try some natural therapies from a licensed Naturopath. I have a question for you guys. Should I continue taking the birth control pills along with the herbal and Chinese medicines or should I stop the birth control pills and just take the natural remedies? I began the pill in late August and if actually feels as if one of my cyst has grown larger since then. I also have some breast tenderness. A lot of people say that birth control pills are "toxic" and if I'm going to do natural medicine, then I should just do that. What do you all think? Any advice would be much appreciated.

I don't have any children.

Few remedies cause as many ovarian symptoms as Apis. It has an active congestion of the right ovary going on to ovaritis, with soreness in the inguinal region, burning, stinging and tumefaction.

I don't think a person should ever stop taking traditional medicine arbitrarily. And it's so important to make sure that ANY medication we take won't interact negatively with herbal or homeopathic remedies. Some do, such as anti-depressants and heart medications, so we need to do our homework and be an informed patient. That being said...

I suffer from cysts on both ovaries. The last cyst that I had was the size of both of my fists put together. Talk about painful! I was facing surgery, and losing that ovary, when I read about shark cartilage and the success it was having with shrinking cysts and tumors. Sharks don't get cancer. In scientific tests, you can't give it to them. Their systems heal from it. So I thought it can't hurt to try it could it? So I did try it. It took 6 months of taking 2 capsules 4 times a day, but I became cyst-free. So now when I get pain in my ovaries, for more than a month, I start taking the shark cartilage for about a month, and the pain goes away. The fishy smell of the capsules is worth keeping my ovaries!

Answer 9

I would stop the pills for sure. i had a friend a few years back who had same problem and this what she did. She cut out almost totally any refined foods especially white flour,sugar,and dairy products. Also cut way back on red meats and pork. She drank at least a quart of apple cider vinegar water every day. One cup of vinegar to gallon of distilled water add honey to taste if you want. Then she also applied a mixture of vinegar water ( no honey) one to two times a day to the cyst. She tried to eat as healthy as she could, plenty of dark leafy greens and mostly raw veggies and fruits. She also took a good quality seafood pill i think about 10 two times a day. Every time she went to the doctor her doctor was amazed at the progress and told her what ever she was doing to keep it up. If I remember right it was just a few months and the doctor said she could see where they had been but my friend was free and clear. i think the vinegar was the key although the change in diet was very important. i hope this helps. By the way, it was not that expensive a treatment compared to surgery or even other alternative methods

Answer 10

I have PCOS and was put on BC years ago. I stopped in a month or two because of the side effects and went natural:

1. Drink lots of water & no caffeine.
2. Don't eat red Meat - it's full of hormones you don't need.
3. Eat lots of fruit & vegetables.
4. Exercise regularly. Walking is fine - the body needs fresh air & sunshine, too.
5. No junk foods.
6. Don't over-do your schedule, a body needs rest to heal.
7. Pray & read the BIble. Many scoff at this, but the mind, spirit & body are all related. If nothing else at least do away with negative thoughts (TV, books, music all affect our body).

The above is best known by the acronym NEW START: Nutrition, Exercise, Water, Sunshine, Temperance, fresh Air, Rest, Trust in God.

You should also do a colon cleanse. Go all natural and forget the BC pills. But, don't just dabble with the natural remedies - do them. Make it a lifestyle change to see results.

Answer 11

I have polycystic ovarian syndrome, and I am also taking birth control pills. I get pain in that area when I ovulate and when i have my period. I suggest that you stay on the pill, because your doctor wouldn't have put you on it if it didn't have an affect on helping with these cysts. If you feel like surgery is not the option, and/or the cysts are only getting worse, consult your doctor immediately. Perhaps hormone therapy would work...
