HAEMMORHAGIC OVARIAN CYST – TREATED WITH HOMEOPATHY
Hemorrhagic ovarian cysts, also known as blood cysts or a hematocyst, occur when a blood vessel in the wall of a cyst breaks, causing blood to flood into the cyst. An ovarian cyst is a sac of fluid or tissue that develops on or inside an ovary. Types of cysts in the ovary may vary in size from pea-sized growths to a cyst as large as a grapefruit. Hemorrhagic cysts are a type of functional cyst.
Different treatments may be proposed. They may include surgically removing these cysts. Unfortunately, surgically removing these may not keep them from growing back. Also birth control pills may be an ovarian cyst treatment, unfortunately, that usually only masks the problem and for women who want to have children, this is only a short-term possibility.
Natural or holistic ovarian cyst treatments will help treat the root cause of the cysts on the ovary, and may completely eliminate the chance of them growing back. Conventional remedies may only treat the ovarian cyst symptoms and not the cause.
Ovarian enlargements, cystic or solid, may occur at any age. Functional and inflammatory enlargements of the ovary develop almost exclusively during the child-bearing years. The ovary is complex in its embryology, histology, steroidogenesis and has the potential to develop malignancy. Therefore, ovarian neoplasm exhibits a wide variation in structure and biological behavior. Unlike the cervix and uterus, the ovaries are not clinically accessible. The enlarged ovary may be documented on sonography.
The non-neoplastic enlargements of an ovary are usually due to accumulation of fluid inside the functional unit of the ovary. They may be asymptomatic or may produce local discomfort, menstrual disturbances, infertility or in rare cases, causes acute symptoms due to complications like haemorrhage, rupture, torsion, which will present, clinically, as an acute abdomen, and a laparotomy is indicated.
Points on which the emphasis should be given while case taking:
1] Character of pain is most important if it is there. Like weather it comes suddenly, or gradually. How does it subside or decrease.
2] Another thing which has to be heeded is how one gets relief in pain. Here, along with the physical modalities, thermal modalities are most important. According to Weir and Tyler.
3] Character of bleeding and color and texture of blood and clots.
4] Mental state of the patient. Especially if there is prolonged mental stress they act as obstacles of cure.
5] Past history of the patient. It helps us to clear the case in many ways.
6] Family history of the patient Generally of -Tuberculosis, Cancer, Arthritis, Asthma, Diabetes. Etc.
7] Miasmatic Constitution of the patient
