The Real Causes That Lead to the Formation of Ovarian Cysts

HOW TO DETECT CANCER

The causes of ovarian cysts need to be properly understood. A failed or disordered ovulation is basically the main reason of the formation of an ovarian cyst. A functional cyst occurs when follicle is unable to release an egg and its growth continues which eventually lead to the formation of a cyst. In other cases a cyst might be formed at the time the follicle does release an egg but the place where it is released is closed. When this happens the corpus luteum does not form and the cyst keeps on growing. Recent research shows that over production of xenoestorgens is one of main causes of the formation of ovarian cysts.

In order to delve deeper into the topic, one may need to know about the gland endocrine and how they work within the body. When a woman`s estrogen and progesterone level drops below normal, the hypothalamus, which forms a part of the lower brain, which also incidentally houses pituitary gland, sends Gonadotropin-releasing pulses (GnRH) to this gland. The pituitary gland, in response, sends %%%follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)%%% to the ovary that immediately begins to mature the ova that is within the follicles. This triggers the follicles to release the much needed estrogen and in about a week or so the estrogen level reaches a higher level in the female’s body. As the hypothalamus goes on increasing GnRH`s production in the pituitary, thus making the LH or the Luteinizing Hormone, the LH promotes ovulation which leads to Corpus Luteum after the follicles are transformed. It is Corpus Luteum that finally leads to the secretion of progesterone which is considered to be the leading hormone in the 2nd part of the reproductive system of humans. If there is no pregnancy, corpus luteum automatically degenerates and the level of estrogen and progesterone gradually falls down.

In the normal course, ovaries grow like small cysts every month. Sometimes however unusually, the follicle keeps on growing – when this happens the cyst gets formed. The cyst thus started as something very normal when the menstrual cycle was starting. What then causes the follicles to behave dysfunctionally and stop the eggs release? It is believed by experts that it is because of the female embryo getting exposed to environmental pollutants and xenobiotics – this can fake the estrogen`s chemical action on the baby’s tissue. At the time of development of the embryo, there are about 600 to 800 thousand follicles that are created, which are individually enclosed within the immature ovum. The mother suffers no apparent ill-effects from the xenobiotics. However the baby is much more susceptible to its impact – the ovarian follicles can become damaged and dysfunctional. They thus are not able to become mature and secrete progesterone in enough numbers. And this damage doesn’t come to be known till the child has attained puberty. Holistic remedies are the only alternative to treat the ovarian cyst causes.

In fact it is difficult to pinpoint any one cause for the cyst. Like any other health condition ovarian cysts can be formed from various causes and their interaction. There are some other factors which are not always the causes of ovarian cyst, but can aggravate a cyst that is already there. A combination of external and health conditions can ruin a person`s health and lead to the formation of cysts. The causes of cysts in the ovary are sort of multidimensional; hence the treatment too should be multi dimensional if you want a complete cure. This is why conventional treatments fail so miserably as they are not multidimensional in their approach. They fail to treat the root cause and though temporary relief can be brought yet it is brought at the price of the liver or kidney damage.

Conventional medication only treats the effected part without bothering about the over all health. But the problem is, ovarian cysts may not be caused by just any one single reason but various physical, mental and environmental reasons play a part in their formation. In some cases a person might be prone to diseases because of some genetic combination though that does not mean that we might be open to the threat of genes. In fact by adopting a holistic remedy option, we can alter our genetic structure by some extent. Diseases can be prevented from coming back and the lost health and energy can be regained. Holistic approach emphasizes a healthy diet and lifestyle that helps in expelling the build-up of toxic and other elements that lead to the weakening of the immune system. Various factors such as hormonal imbalance, during the monthly cycle, sleeplessness, stress, antibiotics and steroids too may lead to the formation of the cysts. The holistic approach doesn`t include any steroids or antibiotics in its methods thus making it safe and devoid of any side effects.
