Put some rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball and put it on the cyst several times a day. It will kill any bacteria and will reduce the size of the cyst a bit (dries it out to a certain extent). |

How is it possible to have an A 4 cm ovarian cyst exists
while on either birth control
pills, or nuvaring. The doctor
says it is a follicular cyst,
yet all my research shows that
hormones prevent and shrink
ovarian cysts.
Pelvic pain/pressure has
existed for several years, and
many tests and procedures show
nothing other than 1 cm
fibroid & the cyst.

Hello, it sounds like you may have PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrom). The symtoms that you are describing are symptoms of PCOS: Ovarian cysts & hormone imbalance. Some other symtoms (not sure if you have them) are: trouble losing weight, some hair loss, darker hair growth on face and / or arms, and sometimes irregular periods, also infertility or trouble conceiving. Doctors will usually prescibe a diabetic medication called Metformin for treating PCOS because in a lot of cases people w/ this develope Diabetes later on. The medication can assist in weight loss. Weight loss is the key to balancing your hormones and putting these symptoms at bay. You should talk to your doctor. Hope this might help. |
