A cyst in the nose is a common disease that is observed very often in modern medicine today. First of all, it should be recalled that a cyst is understood as a kind of pathological space, the cavity of which is filled with liquid. This anomaly can progress in various sections of the sinus of the nose, and its dimensions are completely dependent on the duration of inflammatory processes and the presence of concomitant diseases of the nasal cavity. The sinus cyst is often formed directly in the maxillary sinuses, due to blockage of the ducts of the glands located in the mucosa, which forms the bony walls of the sinus itself.
In most cases, this pathology is asymptomatic, and is detected by chance on an x-ray. However, this does not always happen, since a progressive cyst in the nose begins to burst along the sinus walls, and this phenomenon can also be observed as a result of a purulent infection that affects the body.
In order to understand how to treat a disease such as a cyst in the nose, it is necessary to study its dynamics and understand the causes. So, the nasal mucosa contains special glands whose task is to produce the mucus necessary to moisten the nasal cavity, and it is important to clarify that the mucus enters the nasal cavity through certain ducts. With dysfunction of these ducts, the passage of mucus is significantly limited, while the fluid begins to accumulate, forming a cyst, which is also prone to further growth. The question arises, why is there a violation of the ducts? There are many reasons, but the main one remains the excessive susceptibility of the body to pathogenic allergens or the presence of chronic diseases of the nasal sinuses or nasal cavity (rhinitis, sinusitis). In addition, polyps and physiological abnormalities in the structure of the nose can provoke this disease .
So, if nevertheless the cyst in the nose progresses, then the alarming symptoms of the body will appear immediately. It can be headaches, systematic nasal congestion, discomfort in the upper jaw. However, all these “signals” do not give a clear idea of the presence of the disease “cyst in the nose,” therefore only a detailed diagnosis can make a clear diagnosis. However, often this disease remains undiagnosed, since it does not bother a potential patient at all.
But if nevertheless there is a pathology "cyst in the nose", treatment should be timely. It has several directions, and the most common is its direct surgical removal, but not all cysts expect such a fate, clear indications are needed here. So, surgery is recommended for large cysts or a blocked frontal-nasal canal. Removal of the cyst is extremely undesirable for the patient, since there is a long rehabilitation during the postoperative period, and a scar above the upper lip is also visually observed. In addition, such an intervention is fraught with fatal consequences, in particular, a violation of the normal functioning of the sinus mucosa.
However, today most often an endoscopic technique is used to remove a cyst in the nose. In this case, through the usual openings of the sinuses, there is a direct elimination of the focus of pathology. This method is more appropriate because it brings the patient less discomfort and pain, and also resumes the normal functioning of the once affected sinuses. But these are far from all ways to eliminate such a health problem, however, one way or another, an individual approach is needed in each clinical case. Only an intelligent specialist in this field and detailed diagnosis can help the patient overcome this disease in a timely manner.
