Ovarian cyst and its Homeopathic Treatment

Ovarian cyst and its Homeopathic Treatment

An ovarian cyst is any collection of fluid, surrounded by a very thin wall, within an ovary. Any ovarian follicle that is larger than about two centimeters is termed an ovarian cyst. An ovarian cyst can be as small as a pea, or larger than an orange.
Most ovarian cysts are functional in nature, and harmless (benign).Ovarian cysts affect women of all ages. They occur most often, however, during a woman's childbearing years.Some ovarian cysts cause problems, such as bleeding and pain.

Classification

1. Functional cysts

Functional cysts, or simple cysts, are part of the normal process of menstruation. They have nothing to do with disease, and can be treated. There are 3 types, Graafian, Luteal, and Hemorrhagic. These types of cysts occur during ovulation. If the egg is not released, the ovary can fill up with fluid. Usually these types of cysts will go away after a few period cycles.

(a)Graafian follicle cyst

A simple cyst, which is the most common type of ovarian cyst, is the graafian follicle cyst, or follicular cyst.

(b)Corpus luteum cyst

Another is a corpus luteum cyst (which may rupture about the time of menstruation, and take up to three months to disappear entirely).

(c)Hemorrhagic cyst

A third type of functional cyst, which is common, is a Hemorrhagic cyst, which is also called a blood cyst, hematocele, and hematocyst. It occurs when a very small blood vessel in the wall of the cyst breaks, and the blood enters the cyst.

2. Dermoid cyst

A bizarre tumor, usually benign, in the ovary that typically contains a diversity of tissues including hair, teeth, bone, thyroid, etc.A dermoid cyst develops from a totipotential germ cell (a primary oocyte) that is retained within the egg sac (ovary). Being totipotential, that cell can give rise to all orders of cells necessary to form mature tissues and often recognizable structures such as hair, bone and sebaceous (oily) material, neural tissue and teeth.

 

3. Endometrioid cyst

An endometrioma, endometrioid cyst, endometrial cyst, or chocolate cyst is caused by endometriosis, and formed when a tiny patch of endometrial tissue (the mucous membrane that makes up the inner layer of the uterine wall) bleeds, sloughs off, becomes transplanted, and grows and enlarges inside the ovaries.

4. Pathological cysts

Other cysts are pathological, such as those found in polycystic ovary syndrome, or those associated with tumors.

Signs and symptoms

Some or all of the following symptoms may be present, though it is possible not to experience any symptoms:

• Dull aching, or severe, sudden, and sharp pain or discomfort in the lower abdomen (one or both sides), pelvis, vagina, lower back, or thighs; pain may be constant or intermittent -- this is the most common symptom
• Fullness, heaviness, pressure, swelling, or bloating in the abdomen
• Breast tenderness
• Pain during or shortly after beginning or end of menstrual period.
• Irregular periods, or abnormal uterine bleeding or spotting
• Change in frequency or ease of urination (such as inability to fully empty the bladder), or difficulty with bowel movements due to pressure on adjacent pelvic anatomy
• Weight gain
• Nausea or vomiting
• Fatigue
• Infertility
• Increased level of hair growth
• Increased facial hair or body hair
• Headaches
• Strange pains in ribs, which feel muscular
• Bloating
• Strange nodules that feel like bruises under the layer of skin

Diagnosis

Ovarian cysts are usually diagnosed by either ultrasound or CT scan.

 

Treatment

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 Homeopathic medicines

Homeopathic Treatment

Homeopathic remedies are prescribed by symptoms rather than conditions, as each case of a particular illness can manifest differently in different people. Homeopathic medicine offers more options for treating ovarian cysts. Depending on the symptoms accompanying the cysts, there are different treatments. Homeopathic remedies are normally made from plant, mineral and animal extracts. With the help of Homeopathic treatment we can eliminate cysts, regulate ovulation and relieve painful menstruation.

Thyroid Disease can be treated with Homeopathy

Thyroid disease is a medical condition impairing the function of the thyroid.

Diseases

(a) Hyper- and hypofunction

Imbalance in production of thyroid hormones arises from dysfunction of the thyroid gland itself, the pituitary gland, which produces thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), or the hypothalamus, which regulates the pituitary gland via thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH).

• Hypothyroidism (underactivity)
• Hashimoto's thyroiditis / thyroiditis
• Ord's thyroiditis
• Postoperative hypothyroidism
• Postpartum thyroiditis
• Silent thyroiditis
• Acute thyroiditis
• Iatrogenic hypothyroidism
• Thyroid hormone resistance
• Euthyroid sick syndrome

• Hyperthyroidism (overactivity)

• Thyroid storm
• Graves' disease
• Toxic thyroid nodule
• Toxic nodular struma (Plummer's disease)
• Hashitoxicosis
• Iatrogenic hyperthyroidism
• De Quervain's thyroiditis (inflammation starting as hyperthyroidism, can end as hypothyroidism)

(b) Anatomical problems

• Goitre

• Endemic goitre
• Diffuse goitre
• Multinodular goitre

• Lingual thyroid
• Thyroglossal duct cyst

(c) Tumors

• Thyroid adenoma
• Thyroid cancer
• Papillary
• Follicular
• Medullary
• Anaplastic
• Lymphomas and metastasis from elsewhere (rare)

  Deficiencies

• Cretinism

Diagnosis

 

(a) Blood tests

• The measurement of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) , T4 and T3 levels is often used as a screening test.

(b) Ultrasound

Nodules of the thyroid may or may not be cancer. Medical ultrasonography can help determine their nature because some of the characteristics of benign and malignant nodules differ. Ultrasonography is not always able to separate benign from malignant nodules with complete certainty. In suspicious cases, a tissue sample is often obtained by biopsy for microscopic examination.

(c) Radioiodine scanning and uptake

Thyroid scintigraphy, imaging of the thyroid with the aid of radioactive iodine, usually iodine-123 (123I), is performed in the nuclear medicine department of a hospital or clinic.

(d) Biopsy

A medical biopsy refers to the obtaining of a tissue sample for examination under the microscope or other testing, usually to distinguish cancer from noncancerous conditions. Thyroid tissue may be obtained for biopsy by fine needle aspiration or by surgery.

Homeopathic Treatment

There are excellent remedies in Homeopathy for the patients suffering from Thyroid Disorders. The Homeopathic remedies are prepared from a wide range of substances such as the vegetables, herbs, minerals, chemicals and animal products in extremely minute doses. The homeopathic remedy selected will be based on all the symptoms of the patient including physical, mental and emotional states, and family history of the patient.  Homeopathic remedies stimulate the body's own system and offer a long lasting cure rather than giving temporary relief.

Homeopathy considers a disease to be the result from emotional distress and frustration, which blocks the life force energy into various different organs or glands. Homeopathy offers better chances of a cure since the treatment is based on the person's individual constitution. Conventional treatment of thyroid dysfunction relies mainly on drugs and surgery whereas Homeopathic treatment improves the function of the thyroid gland through natural means. It stimulate the body to reactivate the hormone secretions, replenish and restore the thyroid tissue through the pituitary and other glands as a whole allowing the body to heal itself.

The fundamental understanding of Homeopathy is that substances that can cause a pattern of symptoms in a healthy person can activate a cure of that pattern of symptoms in a sick person when those substances are Homeopathically potentized. This is done not by suppressing symptoms like an allopathic drug, but by expressing the healing powers dwelling within us to heal through treating the whole person including body, mind and emotions.

Another striking thing about Homeopathy is that it has no side effects. People on multiple medications can safely take Homeopathic medicines. Homeopathic drugs are non-habit forming and have no addictive characteristics. Homeopathy has an exceptional proven safety record with the FDA with 200 years of clinical effectiveness.

To conclude, Homeopathy heals by finding and curing the roots of the disease. It has a cleansing effect and stimulates thyroid activity by implementing a general regulating influence on the thyroid. Hence, for a safe, natural, effective, and long-lasting answer for thyroid problems, consider Homeopathy. 

Gall Bladder Stone, can be treated in Homeopathy with some conditions 

Gallstones (choleliths) are crystalline bodies formed within the body by accretion or concretion of normal or abnormal bile components.

Gallstones can occur anywhere within the biliary tree, including the gallbladder and the common bile duct. Obstruction of the common bile duct is choledocholithiasis;

Size

A gallstone's size varies and may be as small as a sand grain or as large as a golf ball. The gallbladder may develop a single, often large stone or many smaller ones. They may occur in any part of the biliary system.

Causes

Researchers believe that gallstones may be caused by a combination of factors, including inherited body chemistry, body weight, gallbladder motility (movement), and perhaps diet.

Symptoms

Gallstones usually remain asymptomatic initially. They start developing symptoms once the stones reach a certain size (>8 mm). A main symptom of gallstones is commonly referred to as a gallstone "attack", also known as biliary colic, in which a person will experience intense pain in the upper abdominal region that steadily increases for approximately thirty minutes to several hours. A patient may also experience pain in the back, ordinarily between the shoulder blades, or pain under the right shoulder. Nausea and vomiting may occur

These attacks are sharp and intensely painful, similar to that of a kidney stone attack. Often, attacks occur after a particularly fatty meal and almost always happen at night. Other symptoms include abdominal bloating, intolerance of fatty foods, belching, gas, and indigestion..

Some people who have gallstones are asymptomatic and do not feel any pain or discomfort. These gallstones are called "silent stones" and do not affect the gallbladder or other internal organs.

Treatment

Surgical options

Cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal) has a 99% chance of eliminating the recurrence of cholelithiasis. Only symptomatic patients must be indicated to surgery. The lack of a gall bladder , however in a significant proportion of the population - between 5-40% - develop a condition called postcholecystectomy syndrome which may cause gastrointestinal distress and persistent pain in the upper right abdomen. In addition, as many as 20% of patients develop chronic diarrhea.

Homeopathic Treatment

Gall Bladder stones can be effectively dissolved with Homeopathic medicines.Results are better if the treatment is started at an early stage soon after the diagnosis is confirmed. Homeopathic treatment can be a boon to patients who are at high risk surgery such as Aged ones, Hypertensive and Diabetics. Some food restrictions go side by side.
