How do one prevent having cyst and how to remedy it?
Control cyst?
Although there's no definite way to prevent the growth of ovarian cysts, regular pelvic examinations are a way to help ensure that changes in your ovaries are diagnosed as early as possible. In addition, be alert to changes in your monthly cycle, including symptoms that may accompany menstruation that aren't typical for you or that persist over more than a few cycles. Be sure to talk with your doctor about any concerns relating to menstruation.
About 95% of ovarian cysts are benign, meaning they are not cancerous.
Treatment for cysts depends on the size of the cyst and symptoms. For small, asymptomatic cysts, the wait and see approach with regular check-ups will most likely be recommended.
Pain caused by ovarian cysts may be treated with:
* pain relievers, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil), acetaminophen (Tylenol), or narcotic pain medicine (by prescription) may help reduce pelvic pain. NSAIDs usually work best when taken at the first signs of the pain.
* a warm bath, or heating pad, or hot water bottle applied to the lower abdomen near the ovaries can relax tense muscles and relieve cramping, lessen discomfort, and stimulate circulation and healing in the ovaries.Bags of ice covered with towels can be used alternately as cold treatments to increase local circulation.
* chamomile herbal tea (Matricaria recutita) can reduce ovarian cyst pain and soothe tense muscles.
* urinating as soon as the urge presents itself.
* avoiding constipation, which does not cause ovarian cysts but may further increase pelvic discomfort.
* in diet, eliminating caffeine and alcohol, reducing sugars, increasing foods rich in vitamin A and carotenoids (e.g., carrots, tomatoes, and salad greens) and B vitamins (e.g., whole grains).
* combined methods of hormonal contraception such as the combined oral contraceptive pill -- the hormones in the pills may regulate the menstrual cycle, prevent the formation of follicles that can turn into cysts, and possibly shrink an existing cyst. (American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, 1999c; Mayo Clinic, 2002e)
Also, limiting strenuous activity may reduce the risk of cyst rupture or torsion.
Cysts that persist beyond two or three menstrual cycles, or occur in post-menopausal women, may indicate more serious disease and should be investigated through ultrasonography and laparoscopy, especially in cases where family members have had ovarian cancer. Such cysts may require surgical biopsy. Additionally, a blood test may be taken before surgery to check for elevated CA-125, a tumor marker, which is often found in increased levels in ovarian cancer, although it can also be elevated by other conditions resulting in a large number of false positives.

Are you talking about cysts or tumors? Cysts are generally benign in nature and can be surgically removed if they do not resolve themselves. I have had 8 Cysts removed and have been getting them for 13 years and I am still typing this to you.

well, i don't see why it would...unless the cyst is very large and ruptures and you bleed to death (i would think such a thing would be quite rare, btw)
A cyst is just a water-filled tumor type growth...It can cause pain, but shouldn't shorten your lifespan at all...
Reply:No, the same amount of time has passed from your birth to the present time whether you have cysts or not.

Ovarian Cyst...?
My friend is 28, she has had ovarian cysts since her early 20's.
She is married with no children... yet. She has multiple, persistent cysts on both her ovaries. They never shrink or go away even with pills. She has frequent, like every 2wks, periods and severe cramping. Surgery is not an option. She does want children oneday.
What the best options for treating these cyst and retain her fertility? Any natural cures available. Please any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Birth control not an option anymore, tried and didn't work
Her doctor isn't very helpful or supportive, only prescribes meds for pain.
Ovarian Cyst...?
First things first - FIND A NEW DOCTOR and preferably an OB/GYN and not a general practitioner. This is the single most important thing she can do for herself. Also - have her get a complete copy of her medical records that includes all labs and diagnostic testing she has had completed. This will give her new provider a great history.
If she is overweight - weight loss is a must - unfortunately weight issues and being under weight as well can cause irregular periods as well.
Regular expercise and a healthy high fiber low fat diet is useful.
The previous two are helpful to get the body in balance.
Please dont get into any herbal remedies just yet ---give a new physician a chance to diagnose and treat her prior to having taken any over the counter remedies. (and for the record there aren't any) It is important to note that herbal meds are NOT regulated by the FDA and we have no idea of knowing what safe doses of any herb is...properly UNBIASED and controlled laboratory studies have not been done.

Ovarian Cyst and trying to concieve?
I just recently was told I have an small right side ovarian cyst. It pretty much just gives me painful cramping 2x a week. I want to get rid of it. I have a thyroid problem that was just recently completely out of whack. Which i was told could possibly what caused the cyst. I am going to start "trying" at the end of the month. Will being pregnant make the cyst go away? It is the same as being on birth control?(this isn't why i want to get prenant by the way)
Ovarian Cyst and trying to concieve?
I have Poly-cystic Ovarian Syndrome, which is a big fancy word for cysts on my ovaries a bunch of them. I am currently 8 months pregnant. It took a while for me to get pregnant but, I am and the chances of the cysts going away are good after being pregnant. So, I think your chances are pretty good. Good Luck, and don't get down on yourself if it don't take the first month.

Thyroid Cyst? - Doctors & Nurses?
Almost three years ago my daughter had a tonsillectomy %26amp; adenoidectomy. Approx 8 months later she developed a lump at the base of her throat, she didn't tell us anything about it initially, until it grew in size.
Tests proved it was a 3 1/2 cm thyroid cyst which was aspirated using FNA last December. We were told by the Endocrinologist these normally do not come back.
Now it's 9 months later and she has the same lump in the same location. She says it's getting bigger really fast. This was just brought to my attention this evening. She is now 20 y/o.
My questions are:
1) Could the thyroid cyst be a complication of tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy?
2) How common is it for a thyroid cyst to come back?
3) Will anti-biotics help?
4) Should we see the same Endocrinologist? We were not comfortable with that particular doctor, but he does have her records.
Thyroid Cyst? - Doctors %26amp; Nurses?
1) A thyroid cyst is definitely not a complication from having a
T/A.
2) Rare, but it can happen.
3) No, antibiotics do not affect a cyst.
4) Yes, definitely see the same endocrinologist. They already are familiar with the past diagnosis and treatment. Continuing care with the same professional is important. These folks are specialists and as such may be a little weird or not have the best personalities, but they're smart.
Reply:I dont now do yao?
Reply:1. Probably not.
2. Very
3. No
4. No- you just call your old doctor's office and tell them to fax your records to the fax number of the new doctor, easy as that.
Reply:Probably not a complication of earlier surgery
Thyroid cysts come back.
Antibiotics won't help unless doctor finds an infection.
Choose a new endocrinologist if you are not comfortable.
Good Luck.
Reply:I can tell you from personal expierence you have to call your Endo. They are sometimes rare to come back but they can and without concern. I also have a nodule mine is being treated with medication. But my levels are also off. But I can tell you that you Endocrine system regulates alot more than just metobolism. Because of this issues with my thyroid my hair falls out, i m real tired, my menstrual cycle has ceased. its a big deal nothing to play around with. The worst case senerio if her nodule was not cancerous before and i pray is not this time is that they aspirate again or remove the thyroid. I am not a doctor , but going through simular problem. And certainly not telling you what to do. But I would 100 % call the endo because he is going to want to rule that out.
If not comfortable with that doc. You can find another and they will transfer your records when yougo to see the new one the nurse will call over and you will sign a release form and they can fax it to new doc. You never have to stay with some one you dont like. Your in charge you pay the bills. They are there to assist you.
Good luck and i wish her well.
Reply:She needs to be examined by another Endocrinologist, I don't think that the prior surgery has anything to do with what is going on with her thyroid now, she should have the lump aspirated again and have it tested, she may end up having her thyroid removed if it is abnormal, they can check it out by doing a blood test, in most cases they can put her on thyroid medications if needed and the lump will disappear.
