SIDDHA TREATMENT FOR "OVARIAN CYSTS" - WONDERFUL CURE













  • Menstrual problem and Uterine disorders are very common today.
  • Females without any one of such problems is very rare nowadays.
  • Primary and secondary amenorrhea,Female Infertility,Hirsutism, chronic an-ovulation ,PCOD,Endometriosis and adenomyosis,Sexually Transmitted Infections,Benign and malignant tumors of genital tract, genital prolapse,menopausal disturbances are some among them.
  • In most instances these problems need not to be treated.
  • But it should be investigated carefully to rule out whether it needs medical attention.
  • Ovarian cyst is one among them which need medical care.

What is Ovary?

  • Ovaries are egg or Ovum producing reproductive organ present in females.
  • Ovaries in females are homologous to testes in males.
  • The term 'GONADS' refers to Ovaries in females and testes in males.
  • It measure approximately 3 cm x 1.5 cm x 1.5 cm. Pair of Ovaries are located on each side of the Uterus.

What is Ovarian Cyst?

  • An ovarian cyst is any collection of fluid, surrounded by a very thin wall, within an ovary.
  • Any ovarian follicle that is larger than about two centimeters is termed an ovarian cyst.
  • The size of Ovarian cyst may differ small to big.
  • Most ovarian cysts are functional in nature, and harmless.Some ovarian cysts cause problems, such as bleeding and pain.
  • Ovarian cysts larger than 5 cm diameter are advised to remove surgically by Gynaecologists.

Types of cysts:

  • Ovarian cysts can be categorized as non-cancerous or cancerous growths.
  • All of the following conditions are noncancerous, A woman may develop one or more of them.

1.Follicular cyst: One type of simple cyst, which is the most common type of ovarian cyst,This type can form when ovulation doesn't occur, and a follicle doesn't rupture or release its egg but instead grows until it becomes a cyst, or when a mature follicle involute (collapses on itself).

2.Corpus lutetium cyst: One type of simple cyst, which is the most common type of ovarian cyst.This type of functional cyst occurs after an egg has been released from a follicle. The follicle then becomes a secretory gland that is known as the corpus luteum.

3.Hemorrhagic cyst: which is also called a blood cyst, hematocele, and hematocyst

4.Dermoid cyst: This is an abnormal cyst that usually affects younger women and may grow to 6 inches in diameter. It is a type of benign tumor sometimes referred to as mature cystic teratoma.

5.Endometrioid cyst or Chocolate cyst,Endometrial cyst, or chocolate cyst is caused by endometriosis, and formed when a tiny patch of endometrial tissue (the mucous membrane that makes up the inner layer of the uterus)

6.Poly cystic-appearing ovary:Poly cystic-appearing ovary is diagnosed based on its enlarged size - usually twice that of normal - with small cysts present around the outside of the ovary. This condition can be found in "normal" women, and in women with endocrine disorder.

CAUSES:

  • Oral contraceptive/birth control pill use decreases the risk of developing ovarian cysts because they prevent the ovaries from producing eggs during ovulation.

The following are possible risk factors for developing ovarian cysts:

  • History of previous ovarian cysts Menstrual irregulations.
  • Fatty upper body
  • Early menstruation (11 years or younger)
  • Infertility
  • Hypothyroidism or hormonal imbalance.
  • Anti Cancer treatment for Breast.
CLINICAL FEATURES:
  • Usually ovarian cysts do not produce any symptoms and are found during a routine physical examination.
  • However,some or all of the following symptoms may be present,Dull aching, or severe, sudden, and sharp pain or discomfort in the lower abdomen (one or both sides),
  • Constant or intermittent pain in the pelvis, vagina, lower back, or thighs
  • Most common symptom Fullness, heaviness, pressure, swelling, or bloating in the abdomen
  • Breast tenderness Pain during or shortly after beginning or end of menstrual period.
  • Irregular periods, or abnormal uterine bleeding or spotting
  • Urination difficulties (such as inability to fully empty the bladder),
  • Difficulty with bowel movements due to pressure effect rectum or large Bowell.
  • Weight gain
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Fatigue
  • Infertility
  • Increased level of hair growth.
  • Increased facial hair or body hair
INVESTIGATIONS:
  • Endovaginal ultrasoundOther imaging.
  • CT and MRI scanning
  • Laparoscopic surgery
  • Serum CA-125 assay (Diagnostic test for Ovarian Cancer)
  • Hormone levels (LH, FSH, estradiol, and testosterone levels)
  • Pregnancy test.
TREATMENT:
  • About 95% of ovarian cysts are benign, mean they are not cancerous.
  • Treatment for cysts depends on the size of the cyst and symptoms.
  • For small, asymptomatic cysts, the wait and see approach with regular check-ups can be advised.
  • Pain caused by ovarian cysts may be treated with-pain relievers, including acetaminophen, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs ,or narcotic pain medicine.
  • A warm bath, or heating pad, or hot water bottle applied to the lower abdomen near the ovaries can relax tense muscles and relieve cramping,
  • chamomile herbal tea can reduce ovarian cyst pain and soothe tense muscles,urinating as soon as the urge presents itself.
  • Avoiding constipation, which does not cause ovarian cysts but may further increase pelvic discomfort.
  • In diet, eliminating caffeine and alcohol, reducing sugars, increasing foods rich in vitamin A and carotenoids (e.g., carrots, tomatoes, and salad greens) and B vitamins Combined methods of hormonal contraception such as the combined oral contraceptive pill
IN MY CLINICAL PRACTICE:
  • I am treating Ovarian cyst patients with specially made Siddha medicines.
  • Siddha medicine gives excellent reuslts in treating female disorders including ovarian cysts, PCOS. fibroid uterus , female infertility ,and irregular menstrual periods including ammenorhoea.
  • The success rate for Ovarian cyst patients in our Siddha treatment is more than 90%.
  • Usually the patients who seek Siddha treatment are mostly suggested for Surgical correction by relevent experts.
  • Many patients do Hysterectomy + oophorectomy as per the suggestion of their Gynaecologist that they need a rapid and effective treatment for the same.
  • Though this is neither a malignant disorder nor a life threatening one -many patients seek alternate medicine including Siddha system of medicine.
  • Before treating the patient the exact condition is thoroughly analysed by relevant investigations.
  • The treatment procedures are clearly explained to the patients and their family members in detail.
  • Though Siddha medicine is not only in the form of tablets and capsules, it is however necessary to convey the patients about the form of medicine for their convenience.
  • Most probably a period of 3 months will be needed to treat an Ovarian cyst patient with regular cycle and more in irregular cycle patients.
  • Many different steps are there in treating Ovarian cyst patients according to their individual condition.
  • The clinical symptoms like pain in the abdomen and fullness in the abdomen will go away in the very first 15 days and the patient feels a light and good feeling in the very first month itself.
  • The patient gets almost a normal menstrual flow during the course of treatment.
  • Majority of the patients get a brownish black vaginal discharge during treatment which indicates a positive sign of treatment.
  • The Ultra sound scanning report before and after treatment are documented in all of the patients.
  • The patients are free from their drastic Ovarian cysts in a very little period of 3 -6 months and also relieved from many internal problems.
  • All the patients get improvement in their uterus size that the enlarged and abnormal size come down to minimum size after trearment.
'SIDDHA SYSTEM OF MEDICINE' IS ONE OF THE BEST IN TREATING FEMALE DISORDERS LIKE 'OVARIAN CYST' WHICH IS VERY SAFE AND EFFECTIVE.

CERVIX CANCER- SIDDHA HEALS....!!! "MY BITTER EXPERIANCE"


  • This is about one of my delightful cases in my medical practice .
  • The patient was an old woman of age65.
  • She consulted me with her daughter before 5years(2003) with the following problems.

1.foul smelling and

2.blood stained vaginal discharge

3.pain in the low back and abdomen

4.anaemia

5.loss of appetite and

6.weight loss.

  • I have suspected malignant disorder (cancer).
  • The patient seek ed remedy only for her foul smelling vaginal discharge.
  • She also requested, not to treat her other existing problems.
  • As this type of request is common among Indian people especially in woman,I neglected her request as usual and advised to consult the nearby Gynaecologist to rule out malignant disease.

*Ultra sound scanning,

*Pap smear test

*Per-vaginal examination(PV)

*biopsy -were carried out.

Finally she was diagnosed as CANCER CERVIX STAGE-3 (INVASION UP TO POSTERIOR 1/3 OF VAGINA)

  • The Gynaecologist suggested that,the patient was in critical condition.
  • She also explained about the risk of surgery at that time.(DOING SURGERY IN STAGE-3 MAY AGGRAVATE THE SEVERITY OF DISEASE) and advised to treat her conservatively for some more years.
  • The life-span of the old woman was declared for few more years to her family members.(Five-year survival rates are about 40%.as per text book of onchology).
  • The patient consulted me again and discussed about cure in Siddha treatment.
  • I have given my open reply that I could only treat the patient, but not assure a little.
  • As there was no more effective treatment options even in other systems, they started Siddha medicine.
  • I have treated her with effective anti-tumour drugs said as per ancient Siddha literature.
  • Remarkable results, the patient got in the very first 15 days itself.
  • The expected result of the patient which was the foul smell disappeared in 15 days.
  • Gradually the other symptoms came down in the course.
  • The patient got wonderful response after 3 months of treatment and began to do her routine works as earlier.
  • Excessive vaginal discharge was completely nil after treatment.
  • The patient was in un-expected pleasure.
  • I advised her to continue medicines and haemetenics for some more months to get maximum results.
  • Also suggested the patient to re-check and consult the Gynaecologist I've previously referred.
  • But the patient collapsed my expectation and not agreed to go for further checkups.
  • The patient terminated the treatment herself.
  • I could not taste the "fruit of treatment" and really it was very bitter to me.
  • Totally I forgot the patient then.
  • I was really surprised on seeing the same patient last week at my consultation room with her daughter after 5 years.
  • "SHE IS ALIVE YET".
  • Now the patient is good looking and gained some weight also.
  • Nobody can say now that she is a cancer patient.
  • I have asked about her health.She answered with happy to all of my questions.
  • Now "she is again having increased vaginal discharge- mixed with blood" since a month.
  • No more foul smell at all now.
  • She requested me to treat her problems now......
  • Now, I am confused to treat this particular patient,
  • "HOW TO TREAT THESE PATIENTS.......?"
  • CAN ANYBODY ANSWER MY QUESTION?

(The patient is now again under my treatment)

"SIDDHA CURE" IN 'LEUCORRHOEA' AND 'PELVIC INFLAMATORY DISEASES'



  • Leucorrhoea or leucorrea, vaginal discharge is a universal problem of all women.
  • Usually the normal secretions are slimy and slightly sticky. It is something like nasal secretion.
  • The vaginal secretions varries throughout the menstrualcycle peaking at ovulation and also increasing when under emotional stress.
  • In most of the cases it is not significant.
  • It should be noticed if the discharge is 'blood stained' or yellowish in colour.
  • 'Blood stained' discharge indicates pelvic inflamatory diseases or some serious malignant diseases.Yelloish discharge indicates some infection.
  • Itching in the external genital region and offensive odour in the vaginal discharge also indicate some infection in the tract.
  • Any way thorough investigation should be done in certain conditions.

IN MY CLINICAL PRACTICE
  • Lot of patients,with excessive vaginal discharge of different age groups are being treated in my clinic.
  • First of all they are grouped in to Infective and Non-infective cases.
  • Usually non-infective type is easily treated by special Siddha formulations.
  • Siddha cooling agents,Haemetenics,Immuno modulators,Health promoting agents are administered accordingto the condition in non-infective cases.
  • In Infective cases and PID cases,strong anti microbial agents are administered as per Siddha literatures.
  • Both of the cases respond very well in Siddha treatment,but longer duration of medication is needed in the chronic infective cases.
  • They may need 3 to 6 months duration for a satisfactory result.
ADVICE TO THE PATIENT
  • Patients are adviced to take enriched timely food.
  • Foods like 'Dry fish','Pickle' and hardly digested items are to be avoided.
