Treatment of cysts with folk remedies
A cyst is a neoplasm (tumor) in the form of a vesicle filled with a liquid substance - blood, pus or secretion. Neoplasms appear due to pathological changes in the functioning of cells, which begin to grow and produce similar, mutated ones. Tumors are usually divided into malignant and benign. An ovarian cyst is considered a benign formation. It consists of a stalk, a thin shell lined inside with epithelial tissue, which produces fluid and thereby increases the size of the tumor. Tumor formations can affect both the external and internal walls of any organs.
The danger of a cyst is as follows:
It is not able to shrink or disappear on its own (with the exception of female functional cysts: follicular and corpus luteum).
Due to pressure on neighboring organs, the cyst interferes with their normal functioning.
An enlarging cyst can burst, which can lead to blood poisoning, inflammation and death.
The cyst can degenerate into a malignant tumor.
The functional types of ovarian cysts - corpus luteum and follicular - are diagnosed most often. They are hormonal in origin and can be successfully treated with contraceptives.
The benign nature of the formations means that the cyst does not have a tendency to grow rapidly, does not affect neighboring organs, but only creates pressure on them. Usually the cyst is not large in size and may not show itself for a long time. There have been cases where formations were discovered when their diameter reached several tens of centimeters. Often, an ovarian cyst is discovered by chance, during a medical examination by a gynecologist or an ultrasound scan, so regular visits to a doctor are the key to women’s health.
Important: a woman at any age, regardless of her health, should visit a gynecologist at least twice a year in order to prevent gynecological diseases. After all, the health of the female body depends on timely diagnosis of tumor formations.
Treatment of the cyst depends on the nature and place of origin, the size of the tumor, and the age of the patient.
In most cases, the cyst is successfully treated using:
Taking vitamins is especially important when treating cysts A, E, K, C, B1, B6;
Traditional medicine.
Treatment with folk remedies should be carried out in accordance with the instructions and under the strict supervision of a specialist. Do not take risks by self-medicating; many medicinal herbs may be contraindicated in your case. It is better to consult your doctor to avoid unpleasant consequences.
Features of home therapy
Not all breast cysts are treated with folk remedies. Among benign breast tumors, there is a category that can be treated through surgery. Therapy with folk remedies can be carried out only after diagnosing and monitoring the dynamics of the capsule. It should not be infected and have a tendency to grow aggressively.
Lotions and compresses made from medicinal herbs have proven themselves well.
If a cyst occurs in the chest against the background of endocrine disorders, they do not act on the tumor, but restore the activity of the thyroid gland with the help of special herbs. Also, the appearance of a cavity in the mammary gland is caused by hormonal disorders associated with gynecological diseases. In this case, therapy will focus on treating the reproductive system.
Causes of cyst formation in the breast
A breast cyst is a benign formation, so you should not panic when voicing this diagnosis.
However, it doesn’t hurt to find out what causes can lead to this disease in order to, if possible, prevent them.
The immediate cause of the formation of hollow capsules inside the mammary gland is uneven expansion of the milk ducts. Most often, this disease affects women who have crossed the 35-year mark, especially those who have not given birth.
A common cause is the excessive formation of sex hormones - estrogens - in a woman’s body. Probable causes are also hormonal imbalances of a different nature, as well as disruptions in the metabolic process, and excess weight.
Reasons such as stress, nervous tension, and depression can also cause this disease. In addition, these can be female diseases: mastopathy, ovarian dysfunction, as well as malfunctions of the thyroid gland.
In addition to the most likely reasons listed, there are also the following:
- frequent abortions;
- regular use of oral contraceptives containing hormones.
It should be noted that the formation of a cystic capsule in itself does not pose a danger to the body, however, it leads to pain, tightness and discomfort in the mammary gland. The danger is that an infection gets into the capsule: this can lead to inflammation and suppuration.
In addition, if the cyst is not treated, it will grow, and sooner or later the breast will lose its beautiful shape. We should not forget about the possibility of oncological developments: such consequences are also possible.
