Ovarian Cyst

Hi. I'm 34 years old and was recently told that i have an ovarian cyst approximately 4cm in size. It had 3 small solid components in it and i was put on Yaz to see if it would decrease in size or go away. However, at my 6 wk follow up it looked like there was some hemmorage of 2 of the solid components in the cyst and now a new (dermoid) cyst had developed.  I was told by a personal friend, an OB/GYN, that surgery probably isn't necessary since the cyst is so small.  However, my doctor wants to remove it. Is that the norm?

Hi

Sorry to hear you have a cyst, I have had cysts, the first one was when I was 16yrs it was very big so that had to be surgicaly removed. Others I have had removed by tablets and drained through micro surgery. It will all be ok ask your doctor for alternatives and what he advises, I have three beautiful children now and am nearly 50yrs so hope all goes well

Take care xx

I had a cyst myself and a friend of mine way back then about 10 years ago told me to take Red Clover and Horse Tail, that's how she had gotten rid of some tumors in her breast.  So I told doctor, no surger give me 3 months, if it's not gone by then, you can do the surgery.  Well, it was out and not surgery, thank God, no problems since then.  I say when the word cancer or cyst not a bad a idea to try herbs, supplements, etc. Nothing to loose but the cyst or tumor or what ever cancer it may be.  Prayers are with you   vist mom's website on her personal experience with cancer

It's the norm that doctors like to do surgery. If your personal friend, also a doctor, told you it's not necessary, then it probably isn't.

You can function normally for years and years with ovarian cysts and uterine fibroids, and things like that. Maybe you'll have what seems like heavy periods with clots (gross, but harmless), maybe a little anemic at times, but natural remedies work fine.

Have regular checkups just to make sure. Then when you've had your family, or decided that you're not going to have children, you can have the whole works pulled.

If the symptoms really bother you, you can have the one troublesome ovary removed and retain your childbearing capacity.

When I had my surgery, they said they could leave me one ovary, but as they were also removing my uterus, I figured what's one ovary going to do in there by itself but get into trouble? Besides, I was on the brink of menopause anyway.

My mom had surgery when she was in her late thirties; they didn't want to do it because she was still young enough to have more kids. She made a face and told them that she already had the four of us and didn't need any more, thank you!

I think you need to get a second opinion always a good idea always.

Hi, I had cyst a long long time ago- 2 children and thirty years later I've done research due to my malignant melanoma- stge lllb, in lymph nodes, but now gone due to natural remedies and nutritional application.

The red clover suggestion is good because it purifies the blood- I also used this for  my cancer.  It's theraputic actions among others are: Deobstruent (removes alimentary and other body obstructions);   Alterative ( alters the existing and excretory processes and gradually restores normal body functions.); a mild stimulant (herb that increases functional activity and energy in the body.); Depurant (herb that clean or purifies the blood by promoting eliminative functions);  and a Detergent (herb that is cleansing to wounds, ulcers, etc. or the skin itself) among other beneficial properties. *  School of Natural Healing" by Dr. John R. Christopher,  25th anniversary edition.     

The horsetail provides silica which helps strenghten connective tissues. It strengthens Mesenchymal cells-those derived from embryonic mesoderm; practically, those in a tissue that give it structure and form.  It's also used as a diuretic. (increasing the secretion and flow of urine)** "Medicinal Plants of the Pacific West", Michael Moore-herbalist

I would also use an enzyme formula, mainly Protease to help the digestion of the cysts.  I like the enzymes I get at the http://www.OurHealthCoop.com  they are good and affordable.  They have a formula which has all the Protease, Amylase and Lipase.

hope this helps, best to you
