What is a cyst and how dangerous it is.

Our body always independently performs all the tasks assigned to it and a completely healthy person works like a clock. But sometimes, due to both external and internal factors, even a well-established mechanism has failures. They include different types of new formations. Many of them for a long time may not show any signs of their development in the body, so you should always treat yourself very carefully.

One of these formations is the cyst, the symptoms of which can appear in headaches and frequent nasal congestion. There are several species of cyst. It is a dysontogenetic, parasitic, traumatic, Ramolytic and retention cyst. It is also possible the formation of a true and false cyst. What is a cyst? This pathological formation is an abnormal cavity, which is separated from the main organ by a special capsule and filled with a liquid. In the brain, breast, ovaries, in the nasal cavity, mouth, kidneys and even the skin can form a cyst.

Symptoms depend on the place of its formation. If it is polycystic ovary, there may be irregularities in the menstrual cycle and pain in the lower abdomen. Perhaps obesity, acne, hirsutism and premature termination of pregnancy. Often, the cyst in the first stage of its development does not cause any symptoms and is diagnosed only when a planned ultrasound is performed. What is a cyst, and for what reasons can it arise? This formation can appear due to blockage of the ducts of the gland and consist of its secret. Sometimes these can be tissues and liquids not present here before. If this is a functional cyst, then the cause should be sought in the failure of the functioning of the ovaries. Also, necrosis of tissues, some injuries and injuries, the presence of parasites in the body, tumors, inflammation, hypothermia and malfunctions in the work of hormones can become the causes. Not the main, but an important reason for the origin of cysts - is a decrease in immunity and improper treatment of infectious diseases.

What is a cyst and what should I fear? It is dangerous to have it, first of all, because this new formation never disappears itself. At the initial stages, conservative treatment is required, and in neglected situations, surgical intervention can not be avoided. If the treatment is constantly postponed, it is possible to achieve an even greater increase in the cyst and, as a consequence, pressure it on other organs. This can lead not only to the disruption of the functioning of the whole organism, but also to the onset of a malignant tumor. For example, a functional cyst or ovarian cyst can completely lead to infertility.

To prevent this from happening, visit the gynecologist on time and, if a cyst is found, start the appropriate treatment strategy. Perhaps, only observation is needed. The specialist conducts her examination during the period of menstruation. Most often with the arrival of each subsequent menstrual cycle, the cyst becomes less and in a few months can completely disappear. With a large size, from four centimeters and up, the doctor will prescribe oral contraceptives. With their help, education will disappear in the shortest possible time.

What is the ovarian cyst and why does it occur? The cause may be various inflammatory processes. Therefore, you should take care of yourself, and, if necessary, undergo an additional course of antibiotic treatment. It is recommended to take restorative medications for immunity and physiotherapy. In most cases this is quite enough for a full recovery.

If the education is too large, and timely treatment has not been carried out, there has been a rupture of the coat or torsion of the cyst leg, an emergency surgical intervention will be applied. Do not run the disease, as this can threaten in some cases with loss of the ovary. Even after the operation, perhaps, the emergence of new formations. Therefore, you need to adjust your hormonal background with the help of special medications and in time to visit a gynecologist.
