Ovarian Cysts and Back Pain - Can Ovarian Cysts Cause Backaches?

Ovarian cysts and back pain can go hand in hand for women who are suffering from this condition.  The pain is not specific to backaches, it can be experienced in other areas of the body (pelvis, abdomen, whilst urinating or during bowel movements) and the severity is specific to each woman and the type and size of the cysts she has.

This article will focus on ovarian cysts and back pain ...

The problems usually start when a cyst begins to grow in size.  A common complaint is when it puts pressure on the bladder causing you to visit the toilet more often.  The cyst can also press against other organs which is usually the culprit for causing lower back pain.

So the answer to "can an ovarian cyst cause backaches" is a resounding YES!

I've experienced mild back pain which grew in intensity and I could hardly get through the normal activities I'd normally do in an average day.  That really depressed me and I felt hopeless.

I think I was also stressing myself out about the thought of surgery if the cysts did not shrink on their own.  Willing them to go away doesn't work unfortunately!

While my cysts were in observation mode I took the time to do some research to see if I could do anything to give the cysts a helping hand to stop using my ovaries as a home.

I came across a guide about natural remedies and knew it was my last attempt to avoid surgery.  Ovarian cysts and back pain are enough to make you try anything and I'm glad I did.  I'll be forever thankful to the author of the guide and I've provided a review of it for you below.  She's been through it and knows what it's like to live with this condition.

Bell's Palsy - Cause, Symptoms and Diagnosis

Bell's palsy, also known as one sided facial paralysis,is caused by the dysfunction of the facial nerve (7th Cranial Nerve). One pair of facial nerves, one facial nerve on each side of the face supply the muscles of face. This condition causes the affected side of the face to droop.This happens because of the inability of nerve to conduct impulse to the muscles. This condition comes on suddenly, often overnight, so it is acute in onset.

It is one of the most common disorder of the cranial nerves. It is also the number one cause of facial paralysis worldwide.

It affects men and women equally. Although it can occur at any age it is usually seen in people above the age of 60. People with diabetes have higher risks of developing this disease.

Cause of Bell's Palsy

Bell's palsy occurs when the facial nerve fails to stimulate the facial muscles. This happens when the facial nerve is inflamed or compressed. This inflammation or compression of the nerve results in paralysis of the corresponding side of the face. What causes the inflammation of the facial nerve, is currently unknown. This inflammation can be caused by anything ranging from trauma or infection from various viruses.

Viruses that have been linked are the virus that causes:

1. Cold sores and genital herpes (herpes simplex)
2. Chickenpox and shingles (herpes zoster)
3. Mononucleosis (Epstein-Barr)

Symptoms of Bell's Palsy

The most common feature of Bell's palsy is the drooping of the affected side of the face, due to the malfunction of the facial nerve. The symptoms come on suddenly. These are:

• Rapid onset of mild weakness to total paralysis on one side of patients the face.
• Facial tingling.
• Drooling from the corner of the mouth.
• Disappearance of the wrinkles on the affected side.
• Expressionlessness on the affected side.
• Impaired speech.

In rare cases, it can affect the nerves on both sides of the face.

Diagnosis

There are no specific tests for Bell's palsy. It is normally diagnosed by a careful and through elimination of all the other diseases causing the same symptoms. Thus, Bell's palsy is a diagnosis of exclusion.

But before confirming the diagnosis the Doctor may ask the patient to perform a few facial muscle exercises in front of him like, closing of eyes, lifting of brow, showing of teeth and frowning, among other movements.
