Ovarian Cysts and Acupuncture (by a patient)
Sunday, August 31st, 2008I had suffered some severe pain and swelling over several weeks, and after a trip to an OBGYN, discovered that I had an enlarged cyst on my right ovary. This was the second problem I’d had, having had a very large ovarian cyst removed eight years prior. Wanting very badly to avoid surgery, and also understanding the importance of keeping my only functional ovary safe, I decided to try acupuncture. After just two treatments using a Japanese style of acupuncture that I was very receptive to, I noticed a huge improvement. The pain quickly went away and a subsequent ultrasound showed that the cyst had shrunken significantly. I was particularly impressed with this type of treatment because I could tell instantly what was working. I also walked away with improvements in other areas such as my ribs and hips.
