General product information

Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that grow in or on the ovaries. Most of these cysts are harmless and disappear on their own, but some can cause severe menstrual pain and bleeding. Home treatment of ovarian cysts (proper diet and avoiding certain foods) is not considered as a treatment for ovarian cysts, but it can affect their growth. The reason for the growth and formation of functional cysts is often hormonal changes. Hormonal imbalance can cause these cysts to become large and painful. Ovarian cysts can shrink and disappear without surgery or medication. It is enough to create a hormonal environment in the body that controls the growth of hormones.

The need for medical attention to treat ovarian cysts

Although many ovarian cysts have no symptoms and disappear on their own over time, some cysts can cause pelvic pain, abdominal stiffness, or bloating if they become large. See a doctor immediately if you experience the following symptoms:

• Severe pain in the pelvic area
• Sudden pain in the abdomen
• Pain with fever
• Pain with nausea
• Signs of shock such as pale and cold skin, shortness of breath, dizziness or weakness

These symptoms indicate the rupture of the ovarian cyst, which happens mostly to large cysts. In some cases, these symptoms may be a sign of ovarian torsion. Ovarian torsion occurs when the cyst enlarges, which causes severe pain and reduced blood flow in the ovary. Both cyst rupture and ovarian torsion can cause serious complications such as severe pain and internal bleeding. If you experience any of the above symptoms, see a doctor immediately. In some cases, the patient may need laparoscopic surgery.

Each Punica capsule contains 500 mg of dry pomegranate extract with the scientific name PUNICA GRANATUM L.
