Ovarian cysts are usually diagnosed by the gynecologist on the basis of the patient’s symptoms and an array of tests. Sometimes, ovarian cysts come to light only during a routine medical or pelvic examination as ovarian cysts may continue to exist without any symptoms.
A woman suffering from ovarian cysts must pay close attention to the following symptoms, which are generally associated with this condition.

2. Pelvic pain
Ovarian cysts can cause severe pelvic pain before during and after menstruation. Many women suffering from ovarian cysts also experience pain during sexual intercourse.
3. Bladder related problem
Cysts may put pressure on the bladder. This can lead to difficulty in emptying the bladder. Women also experience a frequent urge to urinate. Often, emptying the bladder can also prove to be a difficult ordeal.
4. Infertility
Many women approach a gynecologist when they fail to conceive. Ovarian cysts may significantly hinder your fertility. Often, miscarriages are also possible because of the complications associated with untreated ovarian cysts.

Ovarian cysts may cause nausea, breathlessness, abdominal pain, vomiting, and general discomfort. Pregnancy like symptoms is also common. Note that any prolonged pain should be checked out immediately.

In this way, the holistic approach to treating ovarian cysts offers a long-term, safe and gentle solution without the side effects of drugs or the risk of surgery while ensuring the prevention of future ovarian cyst recurrence.
