Treatment of ovarian cyst medication: drugs, scheme. Reviews about the effectiveness of treatment

The ovaries that synthesize the necessary hormones are responsible for the correct functioning of the female reproductive system, they are responsible for the process of pregnancy and many more processes, in violation of which a complication such as a cyst may appear. Next, we will tell you how to treat the cysts medically, without resorting to emergency methods.

What is a cyst and what are the types

Every day in the ovaries of a woman there are millions of processes aimed at obtaining offspring, namely:

- maturation of follicles for the further appearance of oocytes;

- release of a mature egg (so-called ovulation) for its further fertilization;

- the synthesis of hormones necessary for the growth and maturation of follicles, as well as in the case of pregnancy, for its successful maintenance;

- regulation of the menstrual cycle of women in general.

If one of the listed functions for some reason ceases to be performed or slows down, the woman has a risk of getting such complication on the ovary as a cyst.

The cyst is a new formation on the surface of the organ, in its structure resembles a bubble.

Treatment of the ovarian cyst is medically possible, if the following types of cysts are found:

1. Endometrioid cyst.
2. The follicular cyst.
3. Cyst of the yellow body.
4. Polycystic ovary.

Ovarian cyst. Medication without surgery

Having heard from the attending physician the diagnosis of the presence of cysts on the ovary, women immediately fall into despair. And why then it immediately begins to seem that the only way to get rid of it is just to conduct an operation.

But this is completely wrong. Many types of ovarian cysts, more precisely, the most common ones are amenable to drug treatment. But do not expect that the doctor will write you a miracle pill that will save you from such an ailment as an ovarian cyst in one session.

As a rule, the whole treatment scheme is based on hormonal therapy, which means it takes a long time.

Treatment of the ovarian cyst can be medically performed using procedures such as physiotherapy, magnetotherapy, but only according to the doctor's prescription.

Also in parallel, drugs can be prescribed to reduce pain, anti-inflammatory, and, of course, anti-stress therapy.

The results of such treatment can already be judged after 3 months.

However, it should be noted that the treatment is administered individually for each patient, according to the results of the analyzes and there is no definite universal scheme that would be suitable for every woman.

Endometrioid cyst

Endometrioid cyst is a kind of cyst, in which mucosal growth is observed. It is customary to call it chocolate, because the contents it is filled with often have a dark brown color.

As a rule, this cyst appears on the right, as it has long been established that in women the right ovary works much more actively than the left one.

The endometrioid cyst of the right ovary lends itself to inoperable therapy . Drug treatment includes mainly therapy aimed at regulating the hormonal background in a woman:

- hormone therapy: "Diane-35", "Marvelon", "Regividon". Take these drugs are recommended from the first day of the cycle, strictly at the same time.

- for the regulation of the menstrual cycle: "Dyufaston", "Norkolut".

- drugs for the regulation of the action of the pituitary: "Danol", "Danazol".

In parallel to the above medicines, immunostimulating drugs, such as "Cycloferon", vitamins, analgesics and anti-inflammatory drugs are added.

Follicular ovarian cyst. Treatment without surgery

Perhaps, this is the most harmless and safe kind of cyst that can appear on the ovary. Its appearance is due primarily to the inability of the ripened follicle to rupture. That is, there was no separation of the matured egg into the fallopian tube. It is at this place that a similar neoplasm subsequently appears. Pregnancy is recommended to plan only after the problem disappears. Used to treat a disease such as the ovarian follicular cyst, treatment without surgery.

The effectiveness of such treatment is almost 95%.

Typically, the patient is prescribed hormonal drugs, such as Regulon, Mersilon, Diane-35, Marvelon, Regividon or other contraceptives.

Further, pain medications such as "No-shpa", "Spazgan" may be prescribed. Anti-stress treatment "Novo-Passit" or "Glitsinom", vitamins.

As soon as the patient has another menstruation, from the second to the fifth day it is necessary to undergo an ultrasound examination to confirm the effectiveness of the treatment.

As a rule, the follicular cyst disappears with the first onset of menstruation.

Yellow cyst

This kind of cyst is formed on the ovary after it has fulfilled its basic function - it has been convulsed. At the place of the released egg, a yellow body is formed, which before the 18th week of pregnancy (in case of its onset) will secrete the hormone progesterone. However, in the case of a violation of blood flow, a cyst may appear in it.

In this case, the treatment of ovarian cysts is medically prescribed. It can be removed with the help of physiotherapy, magnetotherapy, washing the vagina with special solutions, herbs.

Very often a woman is prescribed a drug such as Dufaston. With the correct dosage, treatment with only one drug will help get rid of the cyst of the yellow body. Also, a woman is recommended sexual rest for the entire period of treatment, in order to avoid twisting the legs of the cyst.

In most cases this cyst resolves itself, but it requires strict observation at the gynecologist for several cycles beyond its condition.

Polycystic ovary syndrome

This kind of disease, in which the ovaries are significantly increased in size. That is, a healthy woman normally ripens one egg a month. Due to the increase in 1 follicle, the ovary swells. In the case of polycysticosis, several follicles are increased in size, but no full-fledged ovulation occurs, that is, a large number of cysts of different sizes are immediately present on the ovary.

Treatment of a cyst is medically recommended as follows:

- diet therapy: the patient is prescribed a diet to control weight or reduce it, exercise;

- prescription of hypoglycemic drugs, such as "Metformin".

- hormonal therapy: "Diane-35", "Marvelon", as well as drugs that suppress the production of male hormones, such as "Veroshpiron." This method of treatment is applied if the woman does not plan a pregnancy.

- When planning pregnancy, prescribe drugs that stimulate ovulation, but only under the strict supervision of a doctor, to avoid rupture of the ovary. Such a drug can be Clomifene, which must be taken from 5 to 9 days of the cycle for 3-4 months.

As it became clear from the content of this article, it is possible to treat ovarian cysts medically. Feedback about this method of treatment is positive both in doctors and patients. Patients say that this method of treatment is absolutely painless and safe, despite the rather high cost of drugs.

Doctors also note that the medical treatment of ovarian cysts is the most common method of therapy to date. He has a lot of advantages, in addition to absolute painlessness: the menstrual cycle is restored and as a result, problems with skin, hair, and, hence, the general mood of the patient as a whole.

The only disadvantage of this treatment is its duration, which can vary from 3 to 9 months.

Do not self-medicate and with the slightest suspicion or detection of symptoms you need to seek help from a gynecologist.
