OMEGA 3 FATTY ACID FOODS.

Omega 3 rich foods help control the hormonal disruption that occurs in ovarian cysts. These foods include fish, nut seeds like flax seeds. Flax seeds have been shown to be effective in lowering the body's androgen levels which tend to increase in this condition.

FOODS RICH IN FIBER.
