Let us make it clear at the very outset that the issue of failed ovulations and why ovarian cysts happen needs to be carefully studied. As the egg is not released by the follicle as it grows, a functional type of ovarian cyst is formed. Also true is the fact that ovarian cysts are also formed when the destination of the egg's release is blocked when the follicle has released it. As a result of these abnormalities, corpus luteum is not formed while the cyst continues to grow. Recent studies have further shown that xenoestrogen, rather an excess of it, may be one major reason that lead to the formation of ovarian cysts.

To fully understand what causes an ovarian cyst, you need to have basic knowledge of the functioning of the endocrine glands. The brain's lower portion is the hypothalamus and below this is the pituitary gland. The hypothalamus starts sending pulses of gonadotropin-releasing (GnRH) to the pituitary gland when a woman's estrogen and progesterone levels drop. In turn, the pituitary gland sends the FSH or the follicle-stimulating hormone that targets the ovary, and this is responsible for beginning the ova`s (within the follicle) maturation process. These follicles ultimately discharge the estrogen. Within around ten days, the level of estrogen in a woman`s body goes up by a considerable extent. At this point the hypothalamus enhances the GnRH's production and the pituitary gland also makes the LH or the Luteinizing Hormone. Ovulation is further promoted by the LH and the follicles are turned into corpus luteum, which secretes progesterone (the dominating hormone in the reproductory cycle`s second half). If there is no pregnancy, the corpus luteum becomes degenerated and the estrogen and progesterone levels fall.

Ovaries actually grow as small cysts every month. In some abnormal cases, the follicle continues to grow and results in cyst. Hence it can be easily understood that the cysts actually kicked off as normal in the start of the period then what exactly led to the follicular dysfunction and did not allow the egg to be released? Experts are of the opinion that it is because of the female embryo getting exposed to environmental pollutants and xenobiotics, which fakes the estrogen`s chemical action on the tissue. During the development of the female embryo, six hundred to eight hundred follicles are made, and every one of them remains within the ovum that is not mature. The xenobiotics though apparently don`t affect the mother, however the baby is much more vulnerable and the ovarian follicles get dysfunctional. They are unable to reach their maturity and the progesterone is not secreted in enough numbers. The damage can never be ascertained till the time the child reaches the age of puberty. The holistic system is the best method of treatment to fight the ovarian cyst causes.

It may be apparent by now that ovarian cysts are not caused by any single factor nor do they respond to conventional medications prescribed by medicos in a vain attempt to control them. Actually, numerous issues are involved in the creation of ovarian cysts, some of which are still not identified or marked down. Also unknown are factors that are not directly involved in causing ovarian cysts but they still act as catalysts in aggravating the existing cyst. In their efforts in determining the causes of ovarian cyst in otherwise healthy females, doctors often think of psychological maladies, depression, malfunctioning of some of the vital organs and xenobiotics as probable triggers of this distressing disease condition. Because of the fact that there are so many contributing causes, what is needed is a multipronged approach - conventional remedies are not able to treat the condition successfully. Yes they may treat the problem and reduce the pain temporarily, but such remedies may lead to kidney or liver damage.

Conventional medication only treats the effected part without bothering about the over all health. But the problem is, ovarian cysts may not be caused by just any one single reason but various physical, mental and environmental reasons play a part in their formation. In some cases a person might be prone to diseases because of some genetic combination though that does not mean that we might be open to the threat of genes. In fact by adopting a holistic remedy option, we can alter our genetic structure by some extent. Diseases can be prevented from coming back and the lost health and energy can be regained. Holistic approach emphasizes a healthy diet and lifestyle that helps in expelling the build-up of toxic and other elements that lead to the weakening of the immune system. Various factors such as hormonal imbalance, during the monthly cycle, sleeplessness, stress, antibiotics and steroids too may lead to the formation of the cysts. The holistic approach doesn`t include any steroids or antibiotics in its methods thus making it safe and devoid of any side effects.
