This fruit vinegar has been touted to prevent and treat various diseases, including ovarian cysts.

Ovarian cysts develop in the ovaries or on the ovaries, usually as part of the menstrual cycle. The most common form of flu is that ovarian cysts contain mature eggs with id-filled sac larger than normal. Although most ovarian cysts are small and do not cause any symptoms, some may cause abdominal pain or discomfort. Larger cysts can cause severe pain, and some may bleed or burst, requiring timely medical intervention. Most ovarian cysts disappear on their own without treatment. Your doctor may use an observation waiting strategy and, in some cases, hormone therapy to prevent more cyst formation. Large or painful ovarian cysts may need to be surgically removed. Some women prefer to use other methods to shrink cysts - for example, try to use ACV - hope to avoid medication or surgery.
It has been reported that ACV will shrink and dissolve ovarian cysts. These cysts are also caused by potassium deficiency in rum, claiming that ACV provides enough replacement for this mineral to help treat these cysts. However, no research supports these claims. In addition, the potassium content of apple cider vinegar is quite low - 11 mg per spoon. This amount is quite insignificant compared to 422 mg in medium bananas or 292 mg potassium in medium tomatoes.
Polycystic ovary syndrome
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal imbalance characterized by the presence of many small ovarian cysts. The fact that PCOS is associated with increased risk of overweight, insulin resistance, and diabetes provides a potential link to ACV. According to the commentary of the May 2014 issue of "Food Magazine"Ce, “Acetic acid, phytochemicals and other health-promoting substances in this fermented beverage are associated with improved glycemic control and weight loss. A report published in May 2013, Northeastern Journal of Experimental Medicine, shows women with PCOS Eating 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar for 90 to 110 days a day improves insulin function, improves ovarian function, and restores menstruation. However, this study is quite small, and the effect of this vinegar on ovarian cysts has not been studied. More research is needed. Understand if ACV plays a role in ovarian health.
