Question 1

i have been told i have paralabral cyst on my hip. what is it and what is the treatment?

Accepted Answer

Paralabral cyst: This paralabral cyst may be related to a tear in the labrum which is the cartilage that rims the socket of the joint. There is nothing to do unless it causes pain. Otherwise arthroscopic surgery can be helpful.

Question 2

6 months old cyst with black head at 6 inches above left hip, no pain (except when swelled), puss discharge with blood (when pressing), puss culture report is normal but it is never ending. please suggest me treatment ?

Accepted Answer

Removal: This sounds more like an ectodermal cyst, where the contents are normal skin cells that accumulate inside. When you press to expell the contents you likely tear some surrounding blood vessels. This pattern is likely to continue until you have the cyst removed surgically.This can likely be done in the office under a local anesthetic.

Question 3

are prothstetic hips safe, and are there any other options for a reacurring bone cyst of the hip? i broke my hip when i was ten, caused by a cyst. the treatment was a steroid flush and a cast. i broke it again when i was twelve when they found that it was

Accepted Answer

I : I am so sorry you have had to go through all of this.  Yes, there are definitely safe prosthetic hips.  Please see a board certified orthopedic surgeon in your area.  Ask your doctor for a referral to be sure you have a highly-respected orthopedic surgeon.  I can understand your concern.

Question 4

cyst in right hip i have a cyst in my right hip that is about 2" in diameter. i will be discussing how to treat it with my doctor soon but until then i'd like to know how they are formed and what the treatments are. i just finished nerve blocks on the fir

Accepted Answer

Typically : Typically cysts in the hip are the result of advanced osteoarthritis.  A 2'' cyst is quite large in my experience.  As you wear out the cartilage in the hip, the bone is exposed.  Continued pressure from weight bearing can slowly push fluid into the spongy bone and ultimately cause the cysts to form.  Generally, these resolve after joint replacement.  I'd be concerned in this case due to the excessive size and probably should be imaged with MRI to rule out other occult causes.  Hope this helps.

Question 5

treatment of hemorrhagic cyst ovary?

Accepted Answer

Time: While painful, these should resolve on their own within 1-2 cycles.  The treatment is usually pain control--ibuprofen or tylenol (acetaminophen).  If persistent or recurrent, sometimes control is obtained with an oral birth control.

Question 6

what is the treatment for a bakers cyst?

Accepted Answer

Depends: A baker cyst is a cyst on the posterior knee area. If symptomatic it can be aspirated and/or surgically removed.

Question 7

what. treatment is best for a bakers cyst?

Accepted Answer

Please see a doctor: If the cyst is very large and causes a lot of pain, your doctor may use the following treatments: 
your doctor may inject a corticosteroid medication, but it doesn't always prevent recurrence of the cyst.
Your doctor may drain the fluid from the knee joint using a needle. 
Cold compression wrap and crutches may help reduce pain and swelling. Gentle range-of-motion and strengthening exercises.

Question 8

what is the treatment for a pilonidal cyst?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Depending on the size and length of time the pilonidal cyst has been present, surgery is often indicated. It could be a small office procedure for smaller conditions, or a slightly more deep surgery done under anesthesia in an operating room. Antibiotics may be able to help some, but not likely result in a permanent cure. Cysts can even recur after surgical excision for some people.

Question 9

what is a treatment and relief for bakers cyst?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Bakers cyst is a collection of fluid behind the knee.  The fluid is usually extruded from the knee after irritation or injury.  They're closely linked to meniscus tears and if this is the case then surgery to repair or remove the tear may cause the cyst to resolve.  Sometimes draining the cyst and injecting steroid into it can relieve the symptoms.

Question 10

are there any alternative pilonidal cyst treatment?

Accepted Answer

Yes: First it depends on what the initial treatment is so ou can determine the alternatives. Most pilonidal cysts are treated by surgical removal. If you desire other therapy, choices are limited. 

If you only get infections very infrequently, then you may want to not have surgery. Whether to proceed iwth surgery is based on your quality of life. 

Warm soaks and good hygiene may  help avoid infection.
