Treatment of Ovarian Cysts in Ayurveda
Ovarian Cysts: It is often seen that a huge proportion of the female population is suffering from the problem of Ovarian Cyst. Most people know that Ovaries are the most important part of the woman’s reproductive system. Ovaries are the reproductive parts that are located on the lower side of the Abdomen on both sides of the Uterus in females. Each and every female has two ovaries. Both these ovaries produce Progesterone and Estrogen hormones and also produce Eggs. Every woman at least one time in their life may suffer from the disorder of Ovarian Cyst. The cyst usually develops when one fluid-filled sac develops on the surface of Ovary. Sometimes this Single Cyst may cause the problem of Multiple Cysts. The problem of Multiple Cysts is also called PolyCystic Ovarian Syndrome i.e. PCOS. These cysts are present in the female body and do not show any signs but most of the time these cysts are very painful. Cysts may vary in their size but if these Cysts become excessively large in size then they may cause Discomfort or Menstrual Irregularities.
Types of Ovarian Cysts
Ovarian Cysts are mainly classified into two types:
1. Functional ovarian cysts
2. Abnormal ovarian cysts
These main types are further divided into many sub-types depending upon the cause of cysts and their characteristics.
A. Functional Ovarian Cysts
The first main type of ovarian cyst is Functional ovarian cysts. This type of ovarian cysts is commonly occurred due to small alterations in the normal functioning of female ovaries. This minor alteration may occur due to an imbalance of hormones which may further cause Dysmenorrhea, Irregular menstrual cycle or Painful menstrual flow. This type of ovarian cysts is further divided into two types:
1. Luteal Cysts
The luteal cysts usually appear after ovulation or you can say during the second half of the menstrual cycle. During the normal cycle the egg is released from the follicle which develops into the corpus luteum. This corpus luteum normally produces the progesterone in the female body but during this condition, it is filled with fluid or blood which lead to the formation of cyst.
2. Follicular Cysts
This type of cysts usually develop before ovulation or you can say during the first half of the menstrual cycle. During this condition, the egg remains inside the follicle which continues to grow and become enlarged after some time due to the presence of fluid inside it. Follicular Cysts do not show any symptoms.
B. Abnormal Ovarian Cysts
Abnormal growth of cells is the main reason behind this type of cysts. Sometimes, Abnormal Cysts develop on the outer side of the ovaries and after its development, it grows bigger in size and then gets attacked by a stem to the ovary. Abnormal Ovarian Cysts are also known as Cystadenoma of ovaries.
These cysts are further divided into three types:
1. Polycystic Ovaries
This condition mainly arises due to the imbalance of hormones and in this condition, a large number of cysts develop inside the ovaries. The condition of Polycystic ovaries is also known as PCOS.
2. Teratoma Cysts or Dermoid Cysts
These cysts are not normal cysts, they are basically tumors that are filled with the pieces of Teeth, Skin, bone, and Hair. These cysts have the ability to become malignant.
3. Endometrial Cysts
During this condition, Endometrial patches/cysts that are filled with old blood form on the surface of the ovaries. These types of cysts are also called Chocolate cysts.
