Ovarian cyst 5 cm natural resolution vs medical management
1 month ago
I’ve been diagnosed with a 4 cm ovarian cyst, and it’s causing mild pain and irregular periods. Before going for surgery, I want to know if there are any safe, natural ways to shrink ovarian cysts. Do diet changes, supplements, or lifestyle modifications genuinely help, or is it just temporary relief?

A 4 cm ovarian cyst is generally considered small to moderate in size, and many such cysts resolve on their own without surgery, especially if they are functional cysts.
While diet changes, supplements, or lifestyle modifications like reducing processed foods, maintaining a healthy weight, managing stress, and regular exercise can support overall hormonal balance, there is no scientifically proven natural method to reliably shrink an ovarian cyst.
These measures may help with symptoms such as mild pain or bloating, but they usually provide temporary relief rather than curing the cyst.
Your doctor may recommend monitoring the cyst with periodic ultrasounds, managing symptoms with pain relief or hormonal treatments, and considering surgery only if the cyst grows, persists, or causes severe symptoms.
