Homeopathic Medicines & Treatment for Ovarian Cysts, Ovary Pain Neuralgia, Ovaritis

#Apis mellifica. [Apis]
Few remedies cause as many ovarian symptoms as Apis. It has an active congestion of the right ovary going on to ovaritis, with soreness in the inguinal region, burning, stinging and tumefaction. Ovarian cysts in their incipiency have been arrested by this remedy; here one of the indicating features is numbness down the thigh. It has also proved useful in affections of the left ovary. Tightness of the chest may also be present, with the occurrence of a reflex cough and urging to urinate. Mercurius corrosivus. Hughes prefers this remedy in ovarian neuralgia. Peritoneal complications also indicate it. Bovista has also cured ovarian tumors.

#Belladonna. [Bell]
As this remedy is one particularly adapted to glandular growths it is especially useful in acute ovaritis, and more so if the peritoneum be involved. The pains are clutching and throbbing, worse on the right side, the slightest jar is painful, and the patient is extremely sensitive. The symptoms appear suddenly; flushed face and other Belladonna symptoms are present. Platinum. Ovaries sensitive, burning pains in them, bearing down, chronic ovarian irritation with sexual excitement. Much ovarian induration is present. Palladium. Swelling and induration of right ovary. It lacks the mental symptoms of Platinum, such as mental egotism and excitement. Aurum. Ovarian induration. Lilium. Ovarian neuralgias. Burning pains from ovary up into abdomen and down into thighs, shooting pains from left ovary across the pubes, or up to the mammary gland. Staphisagria. Very useful in ovarian irritation in nervous, irritable women. Hypochondriacal moods.

#Lachesis. [Lach]
Pain in left ovary relieved by a discharge from the uterus; can bear nothing heavy on region. Hughes and Guernsey seem to think that Lachesis acts even more prominently on the right ovary; others believe the opposite, the tendency of affections being, however, to move from the left toward the right side. Suppuration and chronic enlargements of ovary may call for Lachesis. Zincum. Boring in the left ovary relieved by the flow, somewhat better from pressure; fidgety feet. Graphites. Swelling and induration of the left ovary; also pains in the right ovarian region with delayed scanty menses. Argentum metallicum.

It is also a useful remedy,according to Southwick, in ovaritis of left ovary with colicky pains. A dropsical condition may be present. Hamamelis. Ovaritis and ovarian neuralgia. Ludlam praises this remedy in the sub-acute form of gonorrhoeal ovaritis; it allays the pain and averts the menstrual derangement. Ovaritis after a blow. There is agonizing soreness all over the abdomen. An external application of hot extract of Hamamelis acts marvelously in subduing the distress and pain consequent to ovaritis. Iodine. Congestion or dropsy of the right ovary. Dwindling of the mammae; dull, pressing, wedge-like pain, extending from right ovary to uterus like a plug, worse during menstruation. Thuja. Left-sided ovaritis, with suspicion of veneral taint, calls for Thuja. Grumbling pains in the ovaries all the time, with mental irritability, call for Thuja.

Michelle answers:

It wouldn’t hurt to try natural (and it could be fun trying) but I don’t think your chances are necessarily better since her body knows it can get pregnant-but it’s worth a try!

Michelle answers:

I recently had my first child in Sept…and I was in the same boat during my pregnance…I couldn’t decide whether to go natural or have a c-section….I just couldn’t imagine pushing a child through that tiny hole…lol…I asked everyone and they all told me the same thing…go with the natural childbirth…we’re made to give birth…With C-sections, it takes more time to recover and you also end up with a nasty looking scar most of the time…Hope this helps!

Michelle answers:

I had a natural birth and with sex u return the same way before u have the baby naturally.my hubby thinks i gotten alittle tighter after i had my baby.but u have to wait the 6 weeks after u have the baby to repair yourself.

Michelle answers:

As the patient, you have the right to refuse any diagnostics and treatment that you don´t want, for any reason.

However, I would advise against this. Doing these tests is the only way to assure that your baby is growing the way he or she should, as well as making sure that you as well as the baby are, and continue to stay, healthy. If something is wrong, but it is caught early enough, your doctor may be able to correct the problem; but if you don´t have the necessary tests to diagnose it, the doc would never know and you´ll be putting you or your baby´s wellbeing at risk.

My advice is to go ahead with exams and blood tests at a minimum: you can refuse any shots and additional treatments unless the life or health or you and/or the baby are in danger (which, you won´t know unless you have the exams!) But keep in mind that your baby´s health and wellbeing should take priority, which may mean doing exams, bloodwork, etc.

Also, if you are planning on having a ¨natural¨ delivery, you might consider drawing up a birth plan well in advance of your due date to take with you when you go into labor. Outline what kinds of treatments you want and what kinds of treatments that you don´t want (pain meds, meds to induce or augment labor, c-section, episiotomy, etc). Keep in mind, however, that if there is some sort of emergency during labor/delivery, your wishes may not be carried out to the fullest if your life or that of your baby is endangered.

Have a happy and healthy pregnancy and enjoy motherhood!

Michelle answers:

YES!

Michelle answers:

1.When did you find out you were pregnant? And what’s your due Date?- Found out when I was 4 weeks pregnant (1-2 by the clearblue digi test) and my due date was 20th Feb 2010 (ended up being 4 days overdue)
2.When did you tell people?- I told people straight away because I was so excited!
3.Describe your feelings when you first saw the positive HPT.- My first HPT was an internet cheapie which I thought was a negative, I threw it in the bin after 3 minutes. A few hours later I looked at the packed instructions and it was a 5 minute test, so even though you shouldn’t I got it out of the bin and there was a very light positive. I then took 6 more one after the other and timed the 5 minutes exactly and they all had a faint positive. Was a bit excited but didn’t believe it until I took a digi test the next morning! It was the longest time ever waiting for the test to develop! I was so happy to see the words pregnant that I wanted to ring everyone I knew right away, even though it was 6am hehe!
4.What first trimester pregnancy symptoms did you have if any?- I didn’t have any symptoms really, just one whole day of sickness and that was it!
5.What first change in your body did you notice during pregnancy? Which trimester did this change happen?- Sore boobs at around 6 weeks pregnant.
6.Is this your first pregnancy?- Yes
7.How many children do you have now and how many do you intend on having down the road?- It was my first baby, I will have at least one more, I wouldn’t mind having 3 altogether but probably no more than that.
8.How old are you (Or if you don’t feel comfortable sharing, just pick an age group ie: 20-25, 25-30 etc.)- I was 20 when I got pregnant, I turned 21 when I was 20 weeks pregnant.
9.What comments have people made about your pregnancy that have really upset or annoyed you?- One of my friends was turning 21 and she created an even on Facebook for her birthday and invited all our friends except me. I asked why I was not invited and she said that she said ” I didn;t bother inviting you because your pregnant so you wouldn’t be able to come anyway” umm, just because Im pregnant does not mean I cant have a social life. It really upset me and certain friends continued to arrange evenings out in front of me and not even bother to invite me! It was very frustrating, but I learnt who my real friends are during my pregnancy and now that my baby is born!
10.What comments have people made about your pregnancy which made you really happy?-My good friends telling me how I will make an amazing mum when I was in a panic! I also had a friend that was so truly happy for me and even though there weren’t any specific comments but she always made me feel so good about being pregnant and becoming a mum!
11.Do you intend on having a natural birth or using pain relief? (Of course this may change come time to delivery, but just for now… where do you stand?)- I did plan on having a natural birth and it is exactly what I got! My birth when exactly to plan and I loved it!
12.Do you plan on being a stay at home mom postpartum, or do you plan to return to work shortly after?- My get paid maternity leave for 39 weeks. I will be going back as soon as it ends in November, however I have been into works a few times to help out. I really miss working because I love my job! Although being a mum is a much better job! Hehe!
13.When did you belly pop and you became obviously pregnant?… if not there yet, just put N/A.- I didn’t really “pop” until 27/28 weeks! I kept waiting and waiting for the bump, I was so worried people though I was just fat! I knew I had finally popped when people started asking about the baby etc.
14.If you have started shopping for your baby, what was the first thing you bought?- The first thing I bought was a moses basket, I got it not long after I found out I was pregnant. The only reason I got it so early is because it was an absolute bargain! Im also not superstitions!
15.Did or are you finding out the sex of your baby?- I wanted to find out and my husband didn’t! But I got my way, as I am so impatient that I had to know! We were having a girl!
16.When you first found out you were pregnant, did you hope for 1 sex over the other?- I did want a girl, although I would have been happy either way I was swaying towards a girl!
17.Do you plan on breastfeeding or formula feeding the baby when born?- I was adamant I was going to BF and I refused to buy any bottles or formula when getting all of the babies things ready. However, I didn’t anticipate how difficult it was going to be and when Karyad was born I had a lot of difficulty. Long story short, after two days in hospital trying to get it right I gave her a bottle of formula, it broke my heart. When I went home I expressed on demand for 2 weeks, not long after 2 weeks my supply started to slow down and eventually dissapeared. Whenever I get upset about her having formula I always remind myself that she had breastmilk for two week

Michelle answers:

If i was you i would take a test just to ease your mind you could be but it could also be a period thats a little later than planned with you stopping the breast feeding it couldve thrown off your bodies cycle!!! Good luck!!

Michelle answers:

I would guess as soon as they stared there period but more than likely they were prob sexually active before that. (considering cave men would just bash them on the head & take what they wanted when they wanted it). Also they were neanderthals and acted more like animals until our brains developed more. Now we know better & know its not good for underdeveloped, Mentally & physically, children to be having sex. I think its due to the human race progressing & understanding more.

Michelle answers:

I am so sorry. I know your pain.

Chaste Tree Berry (Vitex) is known to help ovulation. I have never taken it but have heard lots of good things about it. Here are some other herbs that help with fertility. Http://www.fertilityhelper.net/female_fertility_herbs.html

Have you considered seeing an acupuncturist? I was really skeptical at first but really notice a difference in my cycles after seeing one. Also, they really study herbs and can make a “formula” that is right for you.

Take some time. Only you know best the right decision for you. If that means waiting I would do it. Much luck!

Michelle answers:

IVF – InVitro Fertilization. IVF. Most states allow IVF. Most states however are not comfortable with Surrogate Mother are Surrogacy. IVF ethics only come into play if the child is not between the two donors, say the clinic mixed wrong sperm with egg or wrong egg with sperm. If the child is not 50 / 50 DNA of both parents and may be noticeable it can become a huge problem. Now a child is born and a family has to take care of it cause one of the parents is biological and not the other. Two another problem with IVF is the harvesting of the eggs and what to do with them when done. When they go to the female they harvest eggs not egg. So the mother can easily have them planted back in her (however easy that may be) if she should need or want another pregnancy. Also what does she do with the excess eggs. Many cases have came about that a mother has become the biological mother unwillingly to other children due to Surrogacy and IVF. Google Surrogate clinics where some women are paid to carry a child between you and your spouse and some will give you a child with your DNA if you are single man. Its complicated but check into it.

Michelle answers:

I would NOT suggest finding surrogates in India. There are surrogates in Canada and the US. The problem with Indian surrogate mothers is that since it’s done much cheaper and much more out there, there is a lot of disorganization in the surrogate industry, and then the only guarantee you’re actually getting your child is a DNA test, which might actually prove you have the wrong baby

i’ve read about couples who went to India to collect their children, got stopped at the border for a DNA test and found they had OTHER customer’s children with them – they weren’t allowed to take those kids home, so those kids AND their own children were put into 3rd world orphanages.

So, yeah, talk to your wife, figure out what’s best for the children. And understand her point of view. One of the reasons she may not like this idea is because it’s only a natural baby to you, not to her, and if you have such a strong desire for a “natural” baby, this isn’t really fair to her, that she has to adopt but you have a biological child.

So, think about the reasons you feel the need to have a “natural” child. Sure, humans are hard-wired, like all animals, to want their genes to continue, but you have to ask yourself, is that not a tad superficial? Don’t entirely rule out adoption, since with this idea, she’d still be adopting your kid.

Michelle answers:

For me, I have two girls. Both pregnancies were good. No morning sickness or anything at all. With my first daughter, I didn’t know what to expect. I was having contractions the whole night but didn’t know it at the time. I thought I had to go to the bathroom, but there was no pain. The next morning at 9:30 my water broke and I got to the hospital and by 12:30 my daughter was born, 6lbs. 11oz. It all went so fast, it felt like it all happened in 10 minutes. I didn’t even have time for an epidural but they did give me IVs. I can still remember the pain from the contractions. I was screaming at my husband that I never wanted to do that again!! Almost 4 years later, we’re pregnant with our 2nd girl. This one came out even faster than the 1st. I was 6cm dilated when I got to the hospital and the nurse put me in an exam room. She checked me and then left me there to wait for my doctor who just happened to be in the hospital that day doing scheduled c-sections. He finally came in and checked me and then started screaming out the door for the nurse to get me into a delivery room right away cuz I was 7 cms. He told me he was on his way to another surgery and that I’d probably have another doctor delivering my baby. So the nurse walked me to a delivery room and got me settled into the bed and then she left to go get all my paperwork cuz I was not even a patient yet. In only a few minutes I’m screaming at my husband that I felt the baby’s head coming out. He thought I was joking…so he looked and I’m so lucky he didn’t pass out cuz there’s the baby’s head. He starts to run out the door to chase down the nurse when he bumps right into my doctor walking past on his way to surgery. He screams down the hall for the nurse and comes in just in time to catch my baby. It was so funny cuz the nurse is cleaning up my baby and my doc is getting me cleaned up and then people start coming in. The nurse for the IV came in and called me Speedy Gonzales. Then the epidural guy came in too. There was no pain at all and it was actually kinda fun for me…It all happen in about 3 hours. The bad thing was that everyone missed the birth… My in-laws were there but in the cafeteria with my other daughter and my mom was on the way but 15 minutes late. I wished I had gotten everyone’s expression on film. Everyone’s jaws were almost hitting the floor when they walked into my room…I think I’ll do it just one more time next year…can’t wait.

Michelle answers:

I don’t know specific amounts of amniotic fluid, but about inducing: DON’T if you can help it. It is way more painful than natural, the pitocin causes contractions back to back and the pain is horrible, trust me I have been through it recently (oct ’05).

Michelle answers:

I dunno personally but I’ve thought about getting a boob job many times just because my boobs aren’t good looking at all. I personally support you all the way with getting one if you think it’s the right decision for you. Babies can wreak havoc on breasts.

All the advice I have though is, make sure you get a GOOD DOCTOR. Before you decide to go with a certain Dr. Try and see if you can find any of his/her previous patients to get some information about what he/she did for them and if they’re satisfied with it and would recommend him/her to you. If spending a little extra money to get a good doctor is what it takes I would go for it.

If it will make you feel happy with yourself again I say go for it!

Michelle answers:

Lawdy, take a home test, then if you need to, go see your Dr. You can’t be waiting around for answers here and there. Get off Yahoo and ask the professionals. I think there is a medical question forum online also, if your strapped for cash, that may be the best place to start, or actually, a pharmisist also, they give out free advise quite often and are well versed in the medical field.

Michelle answers:

Get a blood test done at the doctor’s

Michelle answers:

When the child gets older he or she might want to change his or her name because the mother’s name from a previous marriage really has nothing to do with the child’s identity. The mother will not be able to stop the child changing the surname at 18 years. His father might get some comfort out of this.

I would want to change if I had the name of my mother’s ex-husband. What has this to do with the baby’s identity? The maiden name would be better.

For now, the mother has to agree to a hyphenated name change so it might be best to seek a compromise if she is so set against the idea of the father’s name alone. Then the child might even e more inclined to changing it later as it wouldn’t be changing to a completely different name … Just dropping a bit of it.

Hope this helps.

Michelle answers:

Yes, they are indeed real babies.

If a couple are experiencing difficulty in conceiving a child the natural way, it will be permissible to adopt the procedure of In Vitro Fertilisation with the condition that the sperm belongs solely to the husband and the egg belongs to the wife. It will not be permissible to use a third person’s sperm under any circumstance.

Michelle answers:

I couldn’t agree with you more. I live in the country of a north eastern state in US. We have beautiful mountains, rivers and creeks. Much wildlife runs through my own back yard. Squirrels, rabbits, and deer, and even an occasional black bear travels through our area. When he’s spotted, a notice of warning that he’s back is posted. I’m even visited by wild turkeys, pheasants, geese, owls, and many other species of birds. However, I’m in a small development which had originally been quite a dense forest area and I’d travel out this way and walk along the small creek when I was much younger. You would find many Indian arrowheads along the way. A rope tied to a large tree branch allowed you to swing into the water to cool off on a hot summer’s day, to the chagrin of fishermen near by. So much had been cleared to make way for our homes. And even more for the two camp ground areas we have nearby. A large part of the Blue Mountain has been made into a ski area. And, if not for many pictures I have of my area from when I was younger, it would be unrecognizable today. There is still much wooded area around me, but, by the time my grand daughter grows up, what is left of this beautiful forested area will have to be seen in pictures I take today. We can still feel grass between our toes and watch butterflies and bees in our garden. But, it is changing fast. So my dear, it is not just Burma, Sri Lanka and Papuan jungles that are being changed, but, right in everyone’s back yards all over the world. But even my grand daughter asks, “Where are we all to live and what should we build our houses from? Where will all the people go?” What is it I should answer to that? I wish I had one for her. I can’t imagine her children never experiencing what you refer to as, the deep mysticism of nature either, because, depressing isn’t even the word..

Sounds like you’re off to a great start! I’m sure you know the basic recommendation like to wear boxers, stay out of hot tubs, reducing stress, staying active to keep up a good blood flow, and to drink lots of water. Also, acupuncture is said to help! Check it out! I have heard some great things about Fertileaid but have not looked into it. I’ve researched the same thing and found lots of good information.

•A good multi-vitamin and multi-mineral
•Vitamin C: 2,000 mg/day (in divided doses)
•Vitamin E: 800 IU/day
•Beta-carotene: 100,000 IU/day
•Selenium: 200 mcg/day

Other important nutritional supplements include:
•Zinc: 60 mg/day, which is necessary for sperm production and testosterone metabolism
•Vitamin B12: 1,000 mg/day, involved in the replication of
cells
•L-arginine: 4 g/day, an amino acid involved in cellular replication
•L-carnitine: 600 mg three times per day, this amino acid, found in very high levels in sperm, transports fatty acids into the mitochondria and assists sperm motility

Michelle answers:

I’M ON THE SAME BOAT AS YOU RIGHT NOW, AND SO FREAKED OUT, LOL.

I asked my friend about this not to long ago and tried to google search it but couldn’t find any answers. If you really want to know, I guess you could stop taking your pills for a month, and see if you get your cycle regularly without the pills. Or take a pregnancy test, or have a blod test at the doctor. You can even call your doctor and ask this questions you’re posting here on Yahoo! Answers.

Good luck! And let me know the answer if you find it. 🙂

Michelle answers:

Go ahead and take the test. If it is a positive then you have resolution. If it is negative you still have hope, it might just be too early.

Keep in mind, it is not uncommon to spot following a miscarriage. Your hormones are all over the place and so it is possible to spot before your period as they move back into the regular swing of things. The nausea can also be caused by your hormones shifting back into place.

I hope you are pregnant, but even if you are not, you still have three full cycles of heightened fertility to look forward to. So just keep trying and it will happen.

Michelle answers:

It all depends how high your hormones were and how quickly they came down. Did your doc do any blood tests after the miscarriage?

I would get a few pregnancy tests, if you try one and it comes up negative, then you know hcg is out of your system, but you still could potentially be pregnant again. If you do get a positive its nearly impossible to say if its a new pregnancy, or hormones left over from the old.

I’ve had 5 miscarriages, it normally takes me 2-4 weeks for my hcg to go down to a non detectable level. (I’m a pee on a stick addict, I have hundreds of cheap pregnancy tests filling up a drawer in my closet!)

Michelle answers:

My husband and I went through our one and only IVF cycle and I am now 7 weeks 2 days pregnant. I couldn’t wait either and tested with a home pregnancy test on day 8 after transfer and again on day 9 after the transfer both with a negative. Like I said…I am definately pregnant so don’t put much faith in the home pregnancy test. I even had high levels of HCG with my initial blood test for pregnancy at the lab so I don’t really understand why the HPT didn’t pick it up.
I think I have read that HCG takes longer to show up with a 5 day embryo transfer. I had mine on day three.
I had my first ultrasound two days ago at 7 weeks and although there were two sacs…there was only a healthy fetus in one. The other had only the yolk sac.
Congratulations on the decision to do IVF…I think it is an incredible thing for those of us who can’t conceive in the natural way. Good luck to you…only a couple more days and you will know for sure.

Michelle answers:

First let me say CONGRATS! I am a mom of 3 and my first pregnancy i did not know I was pregnant until I was in labor (Baby was fine). My second pregnancy was normal (I guess?), Then my last pregnancy my stomach was huge! My doctor said that every pregnancy was different and this is normal. But i had a friend that had a miscarriage at 5 months, because her baby was growing to fast, that is highly unlikely; they doctor did some tests at the begging of pregnancy and said something about that (Something like that, she was crying when she told me)

Michelle answers:

I had a complete miscarriage between baby 1 & 2. My doctor told me to wait until I was regular again (about 6 weeks) we lasted @ 3. We were pregnant right away- my husbands claim to fame “I just guess i’m potent” yeah, buddy I think the word is horny… Well that pregnancy resulted in a perfect baby boy. So if your body wants it, go for it…However- if you wait to be regular, it will be that much easier to tell if you are pregnant- aka miss a period. We didn’t wait (6 weeks or until I was regular) and by the 7th week I just took a pregnancy test and it was positive

Michelle answers:

It’s natural. Don’t worry. And good luck!

Oh where to begin. Have you seen some of the people in this world who are breeding? If someone wants a baby badly enough to turn to science then they are who should be having children not these 16yo crackys that have three kids. I’m sorry that you do not understand the world that you live in but please do not preach

I know your frustrations. I had an ectopic about 5 years ago. About a year later I got pregnant and delivered a healthy baby boy. When he was 2 we decided to try again…2 miscarriages later I was so angry and sad…I couldn’t understand what I was doing wrong. I decided to not “try” so hard…well, still nothing happened. I then really started paying attention to my body…every period, cramp, everything I wrote down. Well, after about 2 or 3 months I knew when I was ovulating and all that…so we tried and boom….I am 18 weeks pregnant. I had sex before, during and after ovulation…lifted my butt up with a pillow for 10 minutes after.
Good Luck and I am sending baby dust 🙂

Get your doctor to prescribe you CLOMID, its a fertility drug most use before resorting to IVF. It pushes your body to release eggs and 80% of the time more than one.
But I am a mother of twins and I hope you know that it is a huge responsibility if that is what you are trying to do. I wouldn’t recommend messing with nature and maybe finding someone with newborn twins and giving it a go for a day/night before you try.
