Ovarian Cysts & Fibroids

Ovarian cysts and uterine fibroids are common conditions that may affect a woman’s natural fertility and ability to conceive. Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that develop on the ovaries, typically benign but occasionally cancerous. They often arise from the monthly follicle or corpus luteum, and while usually asymptomatic, they can cause pelvic pain, pressure, abdominal swelling, or bladder and bowel issues. Some cysts resolve spontaneously, but others may require surgical removal.

 

Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous tumors within the uterine muscle, most common in women in their 30s and 40s and typically receding after menopause. Although 70% of women may develop fibroids, only about 25% experience symptoms such as heavy bleeding, pelvic pressure, and pain during periods or intercourse, which can lead to extended menstrual periods and fertility complications. Fibroids are a frequent cause of hysterectomies.

Both ovarian cysts and fibroids can impact fertility by disrupting implantation, increasing miscarriage risks, and complicating pregnancies with issues like early bleeding and labor difficulties.

 

Acupuncture and Chinese medicine can be effective in managing and potentially reducing the size of ovarian cysts and fibroids. These treatments utilize the body’s natural healing response and can provide a natural alternative to conventional medication or surgery. Acupuncture is known to relieve pain, enhance blood flow to reproductive organs, and balance hormones, potentially stabilizing conditions that contribute to ovarian cysts and fibroids. Nutrition and herbal remedies are also commonly incorporated into the holistic treatment plan, addressing hormonal imbalances and inflammation that may exacerbate these conditions.
