castor oil for ovarian cyst?

[Anonymous]

Does this treatment really work? How quickly? If I started it today, is there any chance it would resolve by Thursday? It's a small cyst (~16mm) but is producing estrogen and hasn't shrunk on BCP.

Never heard of this. You can have it aspirated at your clinic.

No.

Cysts are treated by birth control pills or laparoscopy.

Please consult your doctor about impact of cysts on fertility.

I did it and got pregnant the next month. Seriously -- God's honest truth. I have no idea if it helped or contributed to my getting pregnant, but it can't hurt and it's not expensive. I was 38 at the time. (Every month I did a procedure, I'd have to take the next month off due to cysts.)

A friend told me about castor oil. I drenched a felt cloth in castor oil, wrapped it in saran wrap, laid it on my stomach and put a heating pad on low and just laid there. Watched a movie or something. I can't remember for how many days i did it. But several days in a row. Good luck!
