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 properly understand the why ovarian cysts occur, one has to first understand properly the functioning of the endocrine glands. The brain`s lower portion is called the hypothalamus, and pituitary gland lies underneath it. When a woman`s progesterone levels and estrogen go down, this is when hypothalamus begins to send gonadotropin-releasing pulses (GnRH) to the gland. It in its turn sends follicle-stimulating hormones or FSH and it targets the ovary. And because of this, the ovum, which is within the follicles begin to mature. It is the follicles that actually aid in the release of estrogen. It takes about 10 days for the body`s estrogen levels to go up by quite a bit. This is when the hypothalamus enhances the pituitary gland and the GnRH`s production, and thus producing LH or the Luteinizing Hormone. It`s the LH which further aids the process of ovulation and leads to the corpus luteum from the follicle. Corpus luteum again secretes progesterone which is the dominating hormone in the 2nd half in the reproduction cycle. And if there is no pregnancy, the corpus luteum degenerates and both the estrogen and the progesterone level falls.

Although ovaries turn into small cysts every month, the follicles, keep on growing, eventually becoming a functional cyst itself. The cyst thus began its journey as something very normal when the menstrual cycle started. What precisely caused the dysfunction or the malfunction in the follicles, thus not allowing the egg to be released remains a question? Clinical opinion on this claims that exposure to xenobiotics, plus sundry environmental pollutants tend to imitate the chemical action that estrogen starts on the tissue of the baby. This can be linked to the fact that as when the embryo in the female grows, there may be as many as six hundred to eight hundred follicles, and every one of them remain inside the ovum that is not developed. Unfortunately enough, although these pollutants cannot make any impact on a mother, the baby, being far more exposed to xenobiotics, is usually affected when the ovarian follicles are rendered dysfunctional or become permanently damaged. The devastating effect causes the follicles never to become mature and this hampers the progesterone`s ability to secrete sufficiently. The damage does not come to light before the baby reaches puberty and holistic remedies remain the only hope in such a situation.

The truth of the matter is that we cannot pinpoint any one single cause of ovarian cysts. Like many other health related problems, ovarian cysts also are caused due to many primary and also secondary factors and the result of interaction between them. Further, there are other agents within the body which, while they cannot by themselves initiate the ovarian cyst, can aggravate the cyst that already exists. Many mental and external factors may upset the human body`s natural balance and manifest themselves in the form of cysts. There is a need therefore to have a complete approach to this issue. This is the reason why most medications are absolutely unable to tackle the main reason why the ovarian cysts are formed. They may be able to offer a temporary relief when it comes to the pain, but often cause damage to the liver and kidney while doing so.

The basic problem is that conventional medications tend only to focus on the affected parts and never treat the disease as a unified whole. Whereas the cysts are not formed because of the fact that a single part of the body malfunctioned, but due to many reasons that relates to many organs in the body and their workings. Some people get ill often because of many genetic factors but that doesn`t mean that we should accept this helplessly. By following a holistic remedy, a person can even alter his genetic structure to some degree. The problem can be checked and the patient`s lost health and energy can be replenished. The holistic remedy is a method of treating the disease by following a healthy lifestyle and eating a diet that lets the body get rid of the toxic buildups and other elements that makes the immune system weak. There are many factors, such as imbalance in the hormones particularly at the menstruation cycle, sleeplessness and relentless stress, antibiotic medicines and steroids which can all bring on an ovarian cyst. A holistic approach achieves the cure and there is no need for any antibiotics or steroids - and this line of treatment is effective and safe too.
