Are functional ovarian cysts normal? The reply is a qualified "yes". As a matter of fact, lots of women have functional cysts and do not even realize it. Nevertheless, if something is not quite right, the signs can be painful and potentially dangerous. If you have suffered from a functional cyst, you may have undergone 1 of 2 different types: A follicular cyst: develops when the sac on the ovary does not release the egg. Instead, the sac fills with fluid A luteal cyst: develops after the egg is released from the sac on the ovary. But, it reseals and still fills with fluid In both cases, a functional cyst would often resolve itself in the long run and you will be none the wiser. But, if the sac continues to get bigger and fill with an excessive amount of fluid, it could cause you to have severe abdominal pain, accompanied with nausea and vomiting. You do not want to go there. In the worst case scenario, if the functional cyst ruptures, it could cause pain during intimate moments or irregular bleeding. At that time, it is important to see your doctor, since the bleeding could be significant and cause further health concerns. Therefore, what can you do to prevent reoccurring functional cysts that have the potential to make your life miserable? You could: Take birth control pills: which stop your periods, interrupt the reproductive cycle, and should prevent the cysts from forming. Regrettably, it does not always work; in addition, if you would like a baby, hormone treatment is definitely not the answer. Surgical treatment: should be a last resort. Surgery is painful. It may remove a cyst today, but it cannot prevent another from taking its place in the future. Moreover, the invasive procedure can cause scarring, which could adversely affect the ability to get pregnant. Holistic method: is the first choice a lot of women choose. It will not decrease your current chances of getting pregnant or in the future. In addition, it is much preferred to pricey and invasive surgery that has the potential to render you infertile. Instead, many women can testify to the disappearance of their cysts in 2 months; and continued holistic therapy prevents the painful fluid-filled sacs from coming back. Therefore, the choice is up to you. But, when considering your choices, remember the first 2 methods cannot guarantee functional cysts would not be a part of your future; and, your ability to conceive may be compromised. Then again, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain from the holistic approach to ridding your body of functional ovarian cysts for good.
