Ovarian Cysts

Ovarian cysts are common and often develop during the menstrual cycle, with many causing few or no symptoms. However, some ovarian cysts can lead to pelvic pain, bloating, irregular periods, painful intercourse, or feelings of fullness that interfere with daily life. While many cysts resolve on their own, persistent or symptomatic cysts may require medical evaluation and a personalized treatment plan.

From a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspective, ovarian cysts are viewed as a sign that the body is out of balance rather than simply an isolated condition. At Healing with Zen, our licensed acupuncturists take a holistic approach by evaluating factors such as menstrual health, hormone balance, digestion, stress levels, sleep, and overall wellness. Acupuncture and customized Chinese herbal medicine may be incorporated into a personalized treatment plan to support reproductive health, improve circulation, and help address the underlying patterns contributing to symptoms. Our goal is to help you feel your best while complementing the care you receive from your healthcare provider.
