Hello bhagyashree , I understand how painful and frustrating this can be. A 3 cm hemorrhagic ovarian cyst is usually benign and often resolves on its own in a few weeks. The pain is because of stretching and irritation of the ovary. Most small cysts don’t require surgery, but pain control and proper care are very important. Ayurveda can help reduce pain, support ovarian health, balance hormones, and improve digestion, which may reduce recurrence, but you should continue monitoring with your gynecologist.
Immediate steps for pain relief , u can follow
Apply a warm water bag or warm compress on your lower abdomen to reduce cramping. Avoid heavy lifting or strenuous activity during pain. Light walking and gentle stretching can help circulation.
Ama Pachana / Digestion support (first 5–7 days if digestion is weak) Hingvastaka Churna – ½ tsp with warm water before meals, twice daily. Trikatu Churna – ½ tsp with honey after lunch once daily.
Internal Medicines (2–3 months) Ashoka churna or Ashokarishta – 10–15 ml with equal water after lunch and dinner (helps regulate periods, ovarian tissue health). Shatavari churna – 1 tsp with warm milk at night (supports female hormones). Kumaryasava – 15 ml with equal water after dinner (supports hormone balance and ovarian health).
External support Gentle lower abdominal massage with warm Ksheerabala taila once daily, avoiding directly over the ovary during acute pain. Yoga postures like Supta Baddha Konasana or light pelvic stretches to reduce tension.
Lifestyle & Diet Eat warm, cooked foods, avoid cold, heavy, and fried foods. Include seasonal fruits, green vegetables, whole grains, and soaked nuts. Drink 2–2.5 L water daily. Manage stress with breathing exercises or meditation. Avoid excessive caffeine, alcohol, and processed food.
Investigations to monitor Repeat ultrasound in 4–6 weeks to check if cyst is reducing. Hormonal profile (FSH, LH, Prolactin, TSH) if periods are irregular or cyst recurs. Blood tests for Iron, Vitamin D, and B12 if fatigue is present.
Important note: Most small hemorrhagic cysts disappear naturally in 4–8 weeks.
Ayurveda can support pain relief and prevent recurrence by balancing hormones and improving ovarian health. Avoid skipping follow-ups if pain worsens, becomes sharp, or is accompanied by fever or vomiting, contact your doctor immediately.
Warm regards, Dr. Karthika

HELLO BHAGYASHREE,
-The ovary normally releases one egg each month. sometimes, instead of releasing the egg smoothly, the small fluid filled sac (follicle) keeps growing and collects blood -when blood enters such a cyst, it is called a hemorrhagic ovarian cyst -size= yours is 3 cm -small to moderate, often resolves naturally in 1-3 menstrual cycles -Symptoms= pain (due to pressure or leakage of blood), heaviness, sometimes irregular bleeding
In Ayurveda,this condition resembles granthi(cystic swelling) caused by imbalance of vata + Kapha dosha with rakta dushti (impurity in blood)

In Ayurveda, ovarian cysts often relate to an imbalance in the kapha and pitta doshas. It’s essential to restore equilibrium to alleviate symptoms and reduce recurrence. Here’s a focused plan for you:
First and foremost, since your pain is intense, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional immediately to rule out complications that might require surgical attention.
After ensuring there is no immediate need for surgery:
Diet plays a crucial role in managing cysts. Reduce intake of kapha-aggravating foods like dairy products, fried food, and sugary items. Aim for a diet rich in fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Warm, easy-to-digest meals are preferable - think soups and stews. Drink herbal teas particularly those containing ginger or cinnamon, which help sustain your agni (digestive fire) and reduce inflammation.
Consider herbal remedies like Ashoka (Saraca asoca) and Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus), which are known for harmonizing the female reproductive system. Consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner for proper dosage and formulation.
Regular physical activity can help maintain a balance of doshas; practice gentle yoga or walking. Specific asanas like Baddha Konasana (Butterfly Pose) and Supta Baddha Konasana (Reclining Bound Angle) can be beneficial for the pelvic region when done regularly.
Besides, perform daily self-massage (abhyanga) using warm sesame oil. It can improve circulation and reduce kapha accumulation. Try pranayama techniques like Anulom Vilom and Bhastrika to improve overall circulation and detoxify the body.
Managing stress is crucial, as it often aggravates dosha imbalance. Meditational practices can help calm the mind and support the body’s healing processes.
Regular follow-ups with your Ayurvedic practitioner and medical doctor will help track your progress and adjust the regimen if necessary. Remember, shifting to an Ayurvedic lifestyle is a gentle and gradual process, and consistency is the key.
In the case of a hemorrhagic ovarian cyst, especially if it’s painful, it’s crucial to be cautious. Ayurvedic and Siddha approaches can help manage symptoms and support body balance, but do consult a healthcare professional to monitor the cyst, since these can sometimes resolve on their own or require medical intervention.
Dietary adjustments can be beneficial. Focus on a diet that pacifies Vata dosha, as imbalanced Vata can contribute to cyst formation. Include warm, cooked foods with good fats such as ghee. Avoid excessive consumption of raw, cold, and dry foods. Spices like turmeric and cumin can be helpful, but moderation is key.
Herbs can also play a role. Ashoka (Saraca asoca) is traditionally used in Siddha for supporting uterine health. Prepare a decoction by boiling 5 grams of Ashoka bark powder in water and consume it twice a day. However, it’s vital to first ensure suitability by consulting a practitioner.
Regular castor oil packs, applied externally on the lower abdomen, might also alleviate pain. Apply for 30 to 45 minutes, ensuring a comfortable setup with a warm compress.
Lifestyle modifications are equally essential. Practice yoga poses that open the pelvis, such as supta baddha konasana (reclining bound angle pose) and gentle stretching to reduce stress.
Remember though, given the pain you’re experiencing, a thorough evaluation by a healthcare provider is necessary to rule out complications. If pain becomes intolerable or if you experience symptoms like dizziness or fever, seek immediate medical attention. Ensure you continue any prescribed treatments, integrating Ayurveda as a complementary approach rather than a substitution in potentially severe conditions.
HELLO BHAGYASHREE,
Please remember that a hemorrhagic ovarian cyst usually resolves on its own within 1-3 menstrual cycles, but since you have severe pain, complication may happen so be cautious
Ovarian cysts are often considered a disorder of kapha imbalance with vitiated vata, leading to accumulation and blockages
DIET AND LIFESTYLE -AVOID= oily, fried, junk ,dairy excess, red meat, refined sugars -FAVOUR= light, warm, freshly cooked foods; whole grains; moong dal; seasonal vegetables -SPICES= turmeric, cumin ,ajwain, ginger= help reduce kapha and improve circulation -Regular yoga and pranayam= setubandhasana, bhujangasana. suptabaddha konasana
INTERNALLY
-KANCHANAR GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =for cysts and tumors
-ASHOKARISHTA= 20 ml + equal water twice daily after meals =for female reproductive health
-KUMARYASAVA= 15ml + equal water twice daily before meals
-TRIKATU CHURNA= 1/2 tsp + honey before meals =to improve digestion and remove txoins
-ALOE VERA PULP= 2 tsp in morning balances hormones and soothes
PANCHAKARMA ADVISED
-UTTAR BASTI= medicated oil/ghee instillation in uterus
-ABHYANGA AND SWEDANA
-MEDICATED ENEMA
PAIN MANAGEMENT -warm castor oil pack on lower abdomen for 20 min not during menstruation -ginger + turmeric + cinnamon tea reduces pain and inflammation
