Pms Or Ovarian Cyst Causing This Abdominal Pain?

About two weeks before your period is due you start retaining water, feeling bloated and irritable, and craving various foods. You're constipated and have severe abdominal pain. Is it PMS? Or could you be subject to reoccurring ovarian cysts?

I am sorry to tell you that it could be either, and it is probably both. I know that is not what you wanted to hear.

It is probably both because both are caused by the same 3 major factors: Diet, Toxins and Stress.

PMS will, generally, give you a couple week peace between periods. An ovarian cyst is likely to be painful 24/7 all month. And month after month. Sometimes this is the only big difference between them.

Your doctor can tell by a routine pelvic exam if a cyst is present. If your condition is severe, it is certainly advisable that you make and keep an appointment.

The medical cures for ovarian cysts and PMS seldom succeed. They may possibly remove your current symptoms, but they do nothing for the future. They don't get to the root of the problems.

For example, doctors generally suggest birth pills as a remedy. This works only temporarily simply because excess estrogen is not the dilemma. Your body will handle the additional estrogen as well as it can to re-balance your hormones, but, a month or two from now, your symptoms will return and they may well be worse than they were before

Actually one of the side effects of birth control pills is PMS. So the treatment is causing the problem. What kind of sense does that make?

There are doctors prescribing a drug known as Sarafem. It can be promoted as a new drug for PMS, but, it isn't new... it really is Prozac, the antidepressant, in a new package. Stay away from this drug. Your head isn't messed up, your hormones are. Of-course you're depressed. All this drug can do for you is cover up your symptoms. No genuine relief.

The sad truth is drugs and other common treatments can damage your delicate reproductive system. Whether your abdominal pain is PMS or ovarian cysts, the conventional cures don't work in the long run.

Doctors don't heal. Only the body can heal itself. No matter what kind of doctor you see the only way to solve cyst or PMS problems is to treat the root cause and work with your body so it can heal itself.

There are a number of reason why your hormones become unbalanced. As we mentioned the three major ones are toxins, diet, and stress.

There are natural remedies for these problems. The best ones address all three critical areas and teach you to change your lifestyle just enough to keep your hormones balanced as nature intends.

It doesn't matter whether the abdominal pain PMS or ovarian cyst. You will want the same natural treatment. But, see your doctor to be sure.
