What Are the Treatments for an Ovarian Cyst or Endometriosis Without Surgery?
Ovarian cysts and endometriosis are two gynecological conditions that can cause pain, discomfort and infertility in women. Ovarian cysts are formed during the process of ovulation, where an egg is released from the ovary, into the fallopian tube. Just before ovulation a follicle forms. If it fails to rupture and release an egg, the follicle can remain and form a cyst. Endometriosis is the growth of cells, found within the uterus, outside of the uterus on other structures like the ovaries. The condition can hinder fertility and cause severe pelvic pain, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center.
