They can form anywhere in the body and they have many types (skin, bone, digestive organs, excretory organs, glands, etc.). They are  mostly well-defined tubes, blisters, sacs, filled with fluid, blood and other substances. The most common cysts in the female genital organs are ovarian cysts. Other types may be paraurethral cysts (around the urethra), Bartholin's cysts, cervical cysts (Nabothian follicles), dermoid cysts, etc. When there are a lot of cysts in the ovaries, the follicles do not reach rupture, ovulation. These are what we call polycystic ovaries. In normal physiological function, every month for about 40 years, except during pregnancy and usually breast-feeding, small cysts form in the ovaries, and their rupture allows the egg to start its way onto fertilisation. Increasing levels of stress hormones can inhibit this process, as our endocrine glands are under hormonal control, regulated along the psycho-neuro-endocrine axis. It is therefore very helpful to be able to monitor our emotional state, because this is the basis for the development of so-called functional cysts. By removing the underlying cause, it is possible to make the symptom disappear.

The good news is that in most cases it is a temporary condition, the cysts disappear. In others they appear from time to time, in conjunction with the menstrual cycle. They can vary in size, and even size is not always the deciding factor in whether they need intervention or they resolve spontaneously.

There may be different causes to their development, e.g. a tubule with an inner lining that looks like the mucous membrane in the uterus, which detaches and bleeds once a month, is called a chocolate cyst. As blood and tissue particles cannot drain out, the detached material accumulates, which looks similar to thick chocolate, hence the name, and may be a partial symptom of a condition called endometriosis.

Chronic stress, which may be caused by issues threatening the security of being a woman, alters the functioning of the hormonal system, the production of the female hormones, and this has consequences on a cell, tissue and organ level.

In most cases, ovarian cysts are completely harmless and cause no symptoms, but they can also be associated with discomfort and pain due to their size. They may be indicated by bloating, feeling full, menstrual irregularities, sexual problems, difficulty with conception, low levels of female hormones, high levels of male hormones, increased hair growth, hair loss, acne, insulin resistance, altered levels of thyroid hormones, and a tendency to miscarry. You may experience more frequent urination or a feeling that you cannot empty your bladder completely.

In addition to the usually recommended medical and dietary advice, the most important thing is to eliminate the underlying causes. If medication or surgical treatment is warranted, we should focus on a thorough psychological background check, looking for possible chronic sources of stress. All functions in our body are controlled by the nervous system, symptoms only develop for a reason. It is important to keep looking for cause and effect until we find them. This can be helped by a psychologist, lifestyle changes, dietary modifications or tools such as Kriston Intimate Training that work on our complex mind-body-spirit thinking strategies.

If we want to make a difference, we need to change. Don't get stuck in a stagnant state. There is logic behind the illness, and if you put everything you learn in the training to use, you can quickly eliminate the symptom. You can find psychological processes and scripts that you can change to your advantage, and together with exercise, you can achieve the best effect, which will rebalance the psycho-neuro-endocrine system, so that hormone levels are also restored. Kriston Intimate Training can help you reduce or eliminate abdominal pain, make your sex life more enjoyable and increase your fertility.
