Ovarian cysts come and go in a woman's life. Often cysts form and dissolve as a normal part of the menstrual cycle and usually are not noticed. A cyst is a small fluid filled sac and it may form on the ovaries as the eggs prepare to enter the Fallopian tubes. The cysts are only a problem when the normal process doesn't happen because a woman's system is unbalanced.
Most doctors treat ovarian cysts with surgery and hormone pills. At best these are temporary fixes as the underlying physical conditions still exist. Surgeries are expensive, invasive, leave scars, and can result in infection. Even worse surgery cannot guarantee that the cysts will not come back. Hormonal pills are usually birth control pills and there is increasing evidence that these pills taken over years can harm a woman's health.
