Are you here because you're sick of your ovarian cyst pain? I hear you! To say that ovarian cysts suck would be a mild understatement.
Personally, I've had to cut short many fun outings because the pain got so bad.
One time I even had to leave a date early because it was so unbearable.
He was a cute guy too! I'm sure many of you can relate.
Ovarian cysts really affect your life! Probably the worst emotional effect this pain has had on me is that it just puts me in a bad mood.
Then I'm irritable and can be flat out mean with people I love.
I always feel bad afterwards, but lucky for me, my loved ones are understanding about it.
If you're feeling powerless..
..
don't despair, there are things you can do! One remedy I've tried out that works for me very well is to use heat.
I just use a heating pad (can be found at any drug store), set it on medium, then apply to your lower back.
After about half an hour, this usually does the trick to reduce the pain.
Be sure to take a break every 15 minutes though so you don't irritate your skin.
Here's a couple other things that I've found to help with the pain: 1.
Soak in a hot bath.
If you don't have a heating pad, this is a great substitute, and is quite relaxing! 2.
Wear looser pants.
Those tight jeans look nice, but the extra pressure causes irritation to your cyst, so wear something looser for now.
