Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that develop on or inside the ovaries. Most are harmless and caused by normal hormonal cycles, but imbalances—especially excess estrogen, insulin resistance, and inflammation—can contribute to persistent or painful cysts.
Common symptoms include pelvic pain, bloating, irregular cycles, heavy periods, or lower back discomfort.
Natural remedies can support the body by encouraging hormone balance, easing inflammation, and improving circulation to the reproductive system. They do not replace medical care, but they can complement healthy lifestyle habits.
