Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled pockets in or on the surface of ovaries. The ovaries are two small organs each the size of an almond located on each side of the uterus. Most ovarian cysts are associated with little or no pain except in the pelvic area sometimes. Ovarian cysts are often associated with hormonal disturbances and irregular menstrual period. Ovarian cysts produce serious symptoms if they rupture. Some types of ovarian cysts may signal a more significant problem. Ovarian cysts can sometimes become cancerous.

Depending on the patient’s age and the type and size of a cyst and symptoms, the following treatments and procedures are usually recommended:

Birth control and/or hormone pills

This is supposed to reduce the chance of new cysts developing in future menstrual cycles. Extensive and prolonged hormones treatments have long been associated with cancer.

Surgery

Removal of a cyst is recommended if it is large or growing or persists through two or three menstrual cycles. Cysts that cause pain or other symptoms are removed.

Some cysts are removed without removing the ovary in a procedure known as cystectomy. Ovarian cysts surgical removal can sometimes cause infertility.

Sometimes the affected ovary is removed leaving the other intact in a procedure known as oophorectomy. Ovarian surgical removal can sometimes cause infertility.

Both cystectomy and oophorectomy procedures have the benefit of preserving a source of estrogen production.

If a cystic mass is cancerous, however, a hysterectomy is recommended to remove both ovaries and uterus when a cystic mass develops on the ovaries after menopause.

Ovarian cysts are a YANG illness (solid mass). They result mainly from consuming too much hard fat, especially the type of fat found in dairy products, particularly hard cheese and not consuming enough foods especially the vegetables that prevent cyst formation or dissolve them when they have already formed.

A research published in Diet, Nutrition and Cancer a National Academy of Sciences report linked the fats in dairy products to an increase in the presence of Cysts and tumors of the breast, uterus and ovaries in American women.

The macrobiotic way, by: Michio Kushi

Most people have come to believe that macrobiotics means eating exotic Japanese foods. This is a misconception. To cure and dissolve ovarian cysts you do not have to eat Japanese foods. You have to first understand the principles of natural balance explained in macrobiotics in order to understand what has led you to develop ovarian cysts. Then, macrobiotic principles will help you determine what foods you will have to eat and what foods you have to avoid in order to cure and dissolve existing ovarian cysts and prevent them from forming the future. Read If macrobiotics means eating locally grown foods, why are we eating Japanese foods? If you are an ovarian cysts patient and tried macrobiotics (particularly the #7 diet) but found it did not work for you, then the foods you have selected are not appropriate for your condition. Please read: The standard macrobiotic diet does not work for some people. Why?

It is true that food is best medicine for ovarian cysts. But some foods help dissolve cysts and some make it worse. The food pyramid is only a general guideline and does not provide any specific information in the natural treatment of cysts.

Food is best medicine. With a carefully designed diet plan for ovarian cysts, there is no need for vitamin and mineral supplements. Some vitamin and mineral supplements can have adverse side effects on cysts when taken randomly or in large doses. However, if they are desired, only natural food-based supplements should be selected and taken in moderate amounts. And beware of alleged miracle cures in far away lands.
