CYST
A cyst is a small pocket of tissue filled with fluid, pus, or other substances. Cyst maybe caused by injury, infection, or other issues. They’re usually benign but may need treatment if complications arise.
Most cysts aren’t painful. They usually don’t cause difficulties unless they’re:
● Infected
● Very large
● Impinging on a nerve or blood vessel
● Growing in a sensitive area
● Affecting the function of an organ
Most cysts are benign or noncancerous.
Whether a cyst needs treatment depends on a number of factors, including:
- The type of cyst
- The location of the cyst
- Whether the cyst is causing pain or discomfort
- Whether the cyst is inflamed or infected
Common methods of treatment for cysts include:
1 Using a needle to drain fluids and other matter from the cyst
2 Giving you medications, such as a corticosteroid injection, to lower inflammation in the cyst
3 Performing a surgical removal of the cyst, which may be done if draining doesn’t work or if you have an internal cyst that’s hard to reach and requires treatment.
