What Are Ovarian Cysts?


Most women will experience a cyst on the ovaries at least once, and most are painless, cause no symptoms, and are discovered during a routine pelvic exam.

Symptoms of an ovarian cyst include nausea, vomiting, bloating, painful bowel movements, and pain during sex. In rare cases, an ovarian cyst can cause serious problems, so it’s best to have it checked by your doctor.

The ovaries are part of the female reproductive system. They’re located in the lower abdomen on both sides of the uterus. Women have two ovaries that produce eggs, as well as the hormones estrogen and progesterone.

Sometimes, a fluid-filled sac called a cyst will develop on one of the ovaries. Many women will develop at least one cyst during their lifetime. In most cases, cysts are painless and cause no symptoms.

Types of Ovarian Cysts

There are various types of ovarian cysts, such as dermoid cysts and endometrioma cysts. However, functional cysts are the most common type. The two types of functional cysts include follicle and corpus luteum cysts.
  • Follicle Cyst

During a woman’s menstrual cycle, an egg grows in a sac called a follicle. This sac is located inside the ovaries. In most cases, this follicle or sac breaks open and releases an egg. But if the follicle doesn’t break open, the fluid inside the follicle can form a cyst on the ovary.
  • Corpus Luteum Cysts

Follicle sacs typically dissolve after releasing an egg. But if the sac doesn’t dissolve and the opening of the follicle seals, additional fluid can develop inside the sac and this accumulation of fluid causes a corpus luteum cyst.

Other types of ovarian cysts include:

  •     dermoid cysts: sac-like growths on the ovaries that can contain hair, fat, and other tissue
  •     cystadenomas: non-cancerous growths that can develop on the outer surface of the ovaries
  •     endometriomas: tissues that normally grow inside the uterus can develop outside the uterus and attach to the ovaries, resulting in a cyst

Some women develop a condition called polycystic ovary syndrome. This condition means the ovaries contain a large number of small cysts. It can cause the ovaries to enlarge, and if left untreated, polycystic ovaries can cause infertility.

Symptoms of an Ovarian Cyst

Often times, ovarian cysts do not cause any symptoms. However, symptoms can appear as the cyst grows. Symptoms may include:

  •     abdominal bloating or swelling
  •     painful bowel movements
  •     pelvic pain before or during the menstrual cycle
  •     painful intercourse
  •     pain in the lower back or thighs
  •     breast tenderness
  •     nausea and vomiting

Severe symptoms of an ovarian cyst that require immediate medical attention include:

  •     severe or sharp pelvic pain
  •     fever
  •     faintness or dizziness
  •     rapid breathing

These symptoms can indicate a ruptured cyst or an ovarian torsion. Both complications can have serious consequences if not treated early.

Ovarian Cyst Complications

Most ovarian cysts are benign and naturally go away on their own without treatment. These cysts cause little, if any, symptoms. But in a rare case, your doctor may detect a cancerous cystic ovarian mass during a routine examination.

Ovarian torsion is another rare complication of ovarian cysts. This is when a large cyst causes an ovary to twist or move from its original position. Blood supply to the ovary is cut off, and if not treated, it can cause damage or death to the ovarian tissue. Although uncommon, ovarian torsion accounts for nearly 3 percent of emergency gynecologic surgeries.

Ruptured cysts, which are also rare, can cause intense pain and internal bleeding. This complication increases your risk of an infection and can be life-threatening if left untreated.

Diagnosing an Ovarian Cyst

Your doctor can detect an ovarian cyst during a routine pelvic examination. They may notice swelling on one of your ovaries and order an ultrasound test to confirm the presence of a cyst. An ultrasound test (ultrasonography) is an imaging test that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce an image of your internal organs. Ultrasound tests help determine the size, location, shape, and composition (solid or fluid filled) of a cyst.

Imaging tools used to diagnose ovarian cysts include:

  •     CT scan: a body imaging device used to create cross-sectional images of internal organs
  •     MRI: a test that uses magnetic fields to produce in-depth images of internal organs
  •     Ultrasound device: an imaging device used to visualize the ovary

Because the majority of cysts disappear after a few weeks or months, your doctor may not immediately recommend a treatment plan. Instead, they may repeat the ultrasound test in a few weeks or months to check your condition.

If there aren’t any changes in your condition or if the cyst increases in size, your doctor will request additional tests to determine other causes of your symptoms.

These include:

  •     pregnancy test: to make sure you’re not pregnant
  •     hormone level test: to check for hormone-related issues, such as too much estrogen or progesterone
  •     CA-125 blood test: to screen for ovarian cancer
Treatment for an Ovarian Cyst

Your doctor may recommend treatment to shrink or remove the cyst if it doesn’t go away on its own or if it grows larger.
  • Birth Control Pills

If you have recurrent ovarian cysts, your doctor can prescribe oral contraceptives to stop ovulation and prevent the development of new cysts. Oral contraceptives can also reduce your risk of ovarian cancer. The risk of ovarian cancer is higher in postmenopausal women.
  • Laparoscopy

If your cyst is small and results from an imaging test rule out cancer, your doctor can perform a laparoscopy to surgically remove the cyst. The procedure involves your doctor making a tiny incision near your navel and then inserting a small instrument into your abdomen to remove the cyst.
  • Laparotomy

If you have a large cyst, your doctor can surgically remove the cyst through a large incision in your abdomen. They’ll conduct an immediate biopsy, and if they determine that the cyst is cancerous, they may perform a hysterectomy to remove your ovaries and uterus.

Natural Cures for Ovarian Cysts (HOME REMEDIES)

The natural options are quite effective and are carried out at two different levels – clearing and prevention. This kind of therapy shows results in three months. However, it should be done before trying to conceive. Besides being effective, it has no side effects, it is less invasive, promotes hormonal balance, and reduces excess estrogens and the cyst size as well as its growth.
  • Heat

Heat is said to be quite effective in reducing muscle cramps or pain in the abdomen due to ovarian cysts.

    Put a heating pad or hot water bottle on your abdomen and lower pelvic area.
    Do this for at least 15 minutes.
    Follow this remedy whenever you experience pain in the abdomen for quick relief.

  • Castor Oil Pack

Castor oil packs are an age-old remedy for ovarian cysts. Castor oil clears the body of excess tissues and toxins. It also stimulates the lymphatic and circulatory systems, which helps reduce and dissolve ovarian cysts.

    Fold a large flannel cloth to make it two or three layers thick. Make sure the folded cloth is large enough to cover your entire abdomen.
   Drizzle about two tablespoons of castor oil on the cloth. Fold the cloth in half to saturate and then unfold it.
    Lay down with an old towel under you and put the flannel cloth on your abdomen.
    Cover the castor oil cloth with plastic and then with an old towel.
    Place a hot water bottle over the towel and then cover yourself in a warm blanket.
    Leave the castor oil pack on for at least 30 minutes and then remove it.
    Repeat the process about three times a week for three months.

To remove oil from the skin after using the castor oil pack, you can wash the treated area with a solution of three tablespoons of baking soda mixed in one quart (four cups) of water.

Note: Do not use castor oil packs during menstruation. If you are trying to conceive then do not use this remedy after ovulation.



  • Ginger Juice

Ginger is a strong anti-inflammatory herb that reduces inflammation and relieves pain. Also, ginger increases heat in the body and induces menstruation.
  • Blend a two-inch piece of ginger, two stalks of celery, half a glass of apple juice and three-fourths of a pineapple in a juicer. Drink this juice once daily until the cysts are gone.
  • Also, you can drink two to three cups of ginger tea daily.

  • Reduce Estrogen

Hormonal imbalance is mainly caused due to excess estrogen, which leads to disordered ovulation. The best way to eliminate this excess estrogen is by avoiding xenohormones and to take the DIM supplement. You can avoid exposure to xenoestrogens and estrogens by using only organic dairy and meat products, avoiding plastic to microwave foods, stop consuming soy foods, stop drinking fluids from plastic bottles, use only natural detergents, avoid perabens and mineral oil in the skin care products.

  • Dietary Changes

A preliminary study in Italy shows that women have a tendency to develop ovarian cysts if they consume more cheese and meat products. Therefore, it is prudent to alter the diet and include more vegetables and fruits or try the vegetarian diet till the cysts dissolve and shrink.

Besides vegetables and fruits, you can also include whole grains, legumes and garlic in your daily diet. Avoid products made of white flour, processed foods and eat less sugar and salt, which gives your body time to cure and rebalance itself.

Also, it is essential to flush away the toxins from the body and this can be easily done by drinking plenty of water, which will get rid of the toxins from your liver, kidney and other organs in the body. By eliminating these harmful toxins, you will create a right base for healing and eradicating the ovarian cysts.





Hope these helps
