They also help is easing off the pressure, pain and swelling in the enlarged veins and indirectly aid in curing stasis eczema (eczema in the lower limb due to accumulation of blood) and varicose ulcers, a complication due to fluid buildup in the skin tissue.

An ovarian cyst is a fluid filled sac usually found on the surface of an ovary, commonly seen in women during child bearing years. Most cysts are self-resolving, physiological and harmless, commonly occurring during the period when your ovary releases an egg (ovulation), usually on the 14 day of your menstrual cycle. However, between 4% and 10% of women of childbearing age develop a metabolic dysfunction, known as polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) marked by the formation of multiple cysts either in one or both the ovaries. There are different types of cysts.
The case described here is of a possible Chocolate or Endometrial cyst that forms when endometrial tissue (the type that lines the inside of the uterus) invades an ovary.
