Ovarian Cysts — What are Ovarian Cysts and How Can You Get Rid of Them?

posted by:
admin
abdominal epilepsy


Just like you, many women want to know what are ovarian cysts and how you can you get rid of them.

  

Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sac-like structures that can form in, on or near a the ovaries — two walnut-sized organs located on either side of the uterus and under the fallopian tubes.  Ovarian cysts commonly affect women during their reproductive years, particularly between the ages of 20 and 35.

Women who suffer from endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease or bulimia, or take the epilepsy drug Valporate tend to be more susceptible to ovarian cysts than most.

Every month, women produce a small structure known as a follicle as part of the reproductive cycle.  This normal fluid-filled sac contains an egg which a woman’s body releases during ovulation around day 14 of the menstrual cycle.

What causes ovarian cysts?

 • Functional cysts

This type of cyst is common and develops from tissue changes during ovulation. Every month, ovaries normally grow cystic structures called follicles.  Typically, follicles return to normal ovarian tissue after ovulation. But sometimes there one or more fluid-filled cyst remains for four to six weeks.

• Follicular and corpus luteum cysts 

A follicular cyst develops from a follicle that grows larger than normal, fills with fluid and does release the egg.

A corpus luteum cyst is seen as a yellow tissue mass forming from the follicle after ovulation.    They tend to disappear after two or three menstrual cycles, and are associated with normal ovarian function.

• Abnormal/neoplastic cysts 

These cysts develop as a result of cell growth.  In most cases, they are benign and rarely become cancerous. There are two types of abnormal cysts.

Dermoid cysts occur when ovarian tissue grows abnormally to form other body tissues such as hair, teeth, fatty material, bone or cartilage.

 

Polycystic cysts develop as a result of a buildup of multiple small cysts which, in turn,  can cause hormonal imbalances in a woman’d body.

Diagnosing Ovarian Cysts 

The most common symptoms associated with cysts include:

• Sudden and severe pain in the abdomen or pelvis

• Increased facial hair

• Fullness or swelling of the abdomen

• Severe abdominal accompanied by fever or vomiting

• Pelvic pain during intercourse

• Constant ache that extends to lower back and thighs

• Menstrual irregularities – delayed, irregular or painful menstrual periods

• Pelvic pain shortly before your period begins or just before it ends

• Difficulty emptying your bladder completely as a result of pressure on the bladder

• Pain during bowel movements or pressure on your bowels

• Nausia, vomiting or breast tenderness that is experienced during pregnancy

One or more tests such as a pregnancy test, ultrasound, computerized axial tomography (CAT-scan), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI scanning), laparoscopy or blood test may be required.

Medical treatments

Treatment of ovarian cysts generally depends on the woman’s age, the size and type of cyst, overall health status and severity of symptoms. Sometimes treatment may not be required for cysts because they’re apt to heal on their own.

Periodic pelvic ultrasound monitoring should be performed regularly, especially for postmenopausal women.

Hormone therapy such as birth control pills may be prescribed to limit the development of new cysts and decrease your risk of cancer.

Surgical procedures 

If cysts are large, abnormal or cause pain, surgery may be recommended.

Cysts may be removed in a procedure known as a cystectomy which does not require removing the ovary; or an oophorectomy, which involves removing the affected ovary and leaving the other intact.

If the cyst is cancerous, a hysterectomy may be performed to remove both ovaries and uterus.

Natural remedies

Natural treatments such as herbal remedies are safe and effective.  They restore a woman’s hormone balance while reducing and preventing ovarian cysts.

These herbs are safe and gentle on your body’s system.  They’ll also enhance your overall health and wellbeing. 

 

Get the information you need to rid your body of ovarian cysts and ultimately prevent cysts from forming in the first place

Learn all you need to know about ovarian cysts and how you can get rid of them safely and effectively.

Every day We are exposed to toxins in the air, water, and especially in processed food we eat. The external toxins which throughout from our body by urine, stool, perspiration and breathing. Some internal toxins are deposited in our body. When they become higher,  they create diseases.

Svedan is the best treatment for reducing vata and kapha. Herbal medicines may be added further to loosen the toxins from the individual. 

Svedan liquefies the aggravated doshas and increases their movement into the koshtha (trunk, gastro-intestinal tract) from the shakhas (extremities). After three to seven days of snehan and svedan, the doshas become well “ripened.” Then the aggravated doshas can be eliminated by Panchkarma (operative procedures) viz., vaman etc.

Important Symptoms You Should Never Ignore in Your Dog

posted by:
admin
abdominal epilepsy


Is your dog sick? What are your dog’s symptoms? We all know that your dog can’t tell you if it feels bad (at least not in so many words), so it’s your responsibility to take care of your dog and to understand when your dog is feeling bad.

Just how do you do that? Well, the best thing I can suggest to you is to know exactly how your dog feels when it is not sick. If you know this, and you know it well, you will be able to tell the difference when your dog is really sick without anyone else having to tell you otherwise.

When your dog feels bad he will probably exhibit some sort of symptom that should communicate to you, if you’re really paying attention, that he does not feel well.

What is a symptom? Well, to be precise, a symptom is often defined as “a physical sign that a disease or sickness is present”. Knowing exactly what kind of symptoms your dog has can usually guide your veterinarian toward diagnosing your pet illness.

Here are just a few of the more common symptoms your dog may exhibit if it is injured or feels “under the weather”, including: vomiting, diarrhea, going off it’s food, stumbling, seizing, drooling or limping.

The ability of recognizing your dogs symptoms and knowing when they need to be treated professionally is very important. This is a skill that everyone does not have but learning it can be the difference between life and death in many instances. The best thing I can tell you is to watch carefully. If your dog exhibits any thing out of the ordinary, and if that symptom continues or worsens over time, then it could very well become a problem.

Certain symptoms, such as seizures, breathing problems, or any kind of collapse should prompt you to get your dog a veterinary exam immediately. If there is ever any kind of doubt about the seriousness of any symptom then please contact your veterinarian or local veterinary emergency facility immediately and ask. Don’t wait to see if it’ll go away on it’s own. Explain the symptoms to the pet professional and ask for their advice. It is always better to be safe than sorry if you’re not sure whether or not your dog is in serious trouble.

There are all sorts of serious symptoms that should never be ignored in your dog. Potentially any of these symptoms could easily indicate an underlying disease and might even be your first clue to the presence of a life-threatening conditioning in your dog. You never know. So, here are a few symptoms that should never be ignored if you see them in your own dog!

Seizure. A seizure is often a symptom of some sort of neurological disorder. They can be caused by several things including epilepsy, toxins or tumors. Contact your veterinarian immediately.

Collapse or Fainting. Any reasons for collapse or fainting should always be considered serious and should not be ignored. Contact your veterinarian immediately.

Breathing Problems. Respiratory distress, labored or difficult breathing or even shortness of breath are all very serious symptoms and should be taken care of immediately.

Bloated or Distended Abdomen. Abdominal distension is an abnormal enlargement of the abdominal cavity and can often be a symptom of potentially life-threatening disease. Contact your veterinarian immediately.

Unproductive Vomiting. Dogs that attempt to vomit over and over and are never able to bring anything up is very serious. You should call your veterinarian immediately.

Trouble Urinating. This can range from: straining to urinate, frequently attempting to urinate, or even great discomfort when urinating. This can be very serious. Contact your veterinarian immediately.

Bruising and/or Bleeding. This should be evaluated immediately by your veterinarian.

Not Eating or Loss of Appetite. This is often the first indication of illness in your dog. This should be evaluated immediately by your veterinarian.

Pacing and Restlessness. In dogs, pacing and/or restlessness can usually be indicative of pain, discomfort or distress in your dog. In many cases it an indicator of a serious problem. This should be evaluated immediately by your veterinarian.

Losing Weight. There are several causes for this, if you’re not actually trying to help your dog lose extra pounds – some of which can be very serious. This should be evaluated immediately by your veterinarian.

Urinating and Drinking Excessively. Either of these are often the early signs of several diseases such as: kidney failure, diabetes, thyroid problems, uterine infections, etc. If you think that your dog is drinking excessively, make an appointment with your veterinarian immediately.

Fever. The normal temperature in dogs is 100.5 to 102.5 degrees Fahrenheit. If your dogs temperature is higher, call your veterinarian asap.

Excessive coughing. Don’t think that this is no big deal. Coughing is a common protective reflex to clear the throat, etc. It can also affect the respiratory system if the coughing is excessive. Common causes of excessive coughing can be quite severe, such as: an obstruction in the windpipe, heartworm disease, bronchitis, pneumonia, lung tumors, kennel cough or even heart failure. This should be evaluated immediately by your veterinarian.

Bloody Diarrhea – Bloody Urine – Bloody Vomit. Any of these should be evaluated by your veterinarian as soon as possible. Some may be the result of minor ailments, while others could be severe or even life threatening. Contact your veterinarian immediately.

While the list of dog symptoms above is not at all all-inclusive, it is meant to be merely a resource of symptoms of which you should always be aware of as a dog owner. Keep an eye on your dogs health in much the same way you would do so for your own child and you will be well on your way to a long and lasting relationship with your own dog. Your dogs health is important so watch for any symptoms your dog may exhibit closely and be ready to act on them as necessary.
