Our body always independently performs all the tasks assigned to it and works for a completely healthy person like a clock. But sometimes, due to both external and internal factors, even a well-functioning mechanism can fail. These include various types of new formations. Many of them for quite 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 a cyst, the symptoms of which can manifest itself in headaches and frequent stuffy nose. There are several types of cysts. This is a dysontogenetic, parasitic, traumatic, ramolition and retention cyst. True and false cysts may also form. 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 liquid. A cyst may form in the brain, mammary gland, ovaries, nasal cavity, mouth, kidneys, and even skin.
Symptoms depend on the place of its formation. If this is polycystic ovary, menstrual irregularities and pain in the lower abdomen are possible. Obesity, acne, hirsutism and premature termination of pregnancy are possible. Often, a cyst at the first stage of its development does not cause any symptoms and is diagnosed only after undergoing a planned ultrasound. What is a cyst, and for what reasons can it occur? This formation may appear due to blockage of the ducts of the gland and consist of its secret. Sometimes it can be tissues and fluids not previously present here. If this is a functional cyst, then the cause should be sought in the malfunction of the ovaries. Also, causes may be tissue necrosis, some injuries and injuries, the presence of parasites in the body, tumors, inflammation, hypothermia and malfunctioning of hormones. Not the main, but significant reason for the onset of cysts is a decrease in immunity and improper treatment of infectious diseases.
What is a cyst and what should be feared? Its appearance is dangerous, first of all, by the fact that this neoplasm itself never disappears. At the initial stages, conservative treatment is required, and in advanced situations you can not do without surgical intervention. If the treatment is constantly delayed, you can achieve even greater enlargement of the cyst and, as a result, its pressure on other organs. This can lead not only to disruption of the functioning of the whole organism, but also to the appearance of a malignant tumor. So, for example, a functional cyst or ovarian cyst can completely lead to infertility.
To prevent this, visit the gynecologist in a timely manner and, if a cyst is detected, begin the appropriate treatment tactics. You may need only observation. The specialist conducts her examination during the period of menstruation. Most often, with the advent of each subsequent menstrual cycle, the cyst becomes smaller and after a few months can completely disappear. With its large size, from four centimeters and above, the doctor will prescribe oral contraceptives. With their help, education will disappear in the shortest possible time.
What is an ovarian cyst and why does it occur? The cause may be various inflammatory processes. Therefore, you should take care of yourself, and if necessary, take an additional course of antibiotic treatment. It is recommended to take general strengthening agents for immunity and physiotherapy. In most cases, this is enough for a complete recovery.
If the formation is too large, and timely treatment has not been carried out, a rupture of the membrane or torsion of the cyst legs has occurred, emergency surgery will be applied. Do not start the disease, as this can lead in some cases to loss of the ovary. Even after surgery, the appearance of new formations is possible. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust your hormonal background with the help of special drugs and visit a gynecologist in a timely manner.
