Question 1

i got a sebaceous cyst removed, now i have a hole where it was. folliwed all aftercare now there's a hole w edges curled under pencil eraser size. ???

Accepted Answer

Surgical re-excision: Unfortunately the way you healed is not uncommon even with the best surgeons.  The best option to repair it is the have the hole re-excised and sutured, but best after you are sure the cyst has not recurred, which can happen in about 20% of patients.  If it recurs, a full elliptical excision is best to avoid future recurrences and holes.

Question 2

2016 i had a ovarian cyst removed and now in june 2020 i had a cone biopsy done im really worried about my fertility im 27 no kids but i do want kids in the future but with all those surgeries ive done im worried, should i be?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes, for the sake of the cone biopsy only. Benign ovarian cysts "come and go" frequently without fertility impacts as long as substantial ovum(egg) production is not altered. The cone biopsy has two issues- 1.) post procedure cervical scarring/stenosis which can prevent conception. 2.) The recurrence of the medical issue that produced the need for the biopsy such as CIN III or cervical cancer.

Question 3

had a cyst removed from head today an couple of stiches and dr did not tell me what to take for pain and now head is hurting, what's best for pain?

Accepted Answer

Tylenol (acetaminophen) or Ibuprofen: If you only had couple of superficial stitches, the pain can not be too bad.Most of patients do not require anything for pain. But if it is hurting you may take over the counter pain meds like tylenol (acetaminophen) or Ibuprofen as long as you are not allergic to these and there is no other contraindications . If still hurts see you doctors as it may be related to head injury rather than stitches.

Question 4

what if you have removed ovaries and uterus and now have a cyst inadnexa does it need to be removed?

Accepted Answer

Recheck: Size matters, larger will likely need removed,  smaller maybe followed with serial sonograms

Question 5

i got a cyst removed earlier today, now the incision itches but doesn't hurt. what can i do about it?

Accepted Answer

Leave it alone!: Try to not itch the area, especially for the next few days as the wound heals.  You could try taking some Benedryl.  Sometimes scratching around the surgical area but not on the surgical area helps too.  Call your doctor before putting any kind of cream or lotion on it.

Question 6

i had my right ovary removed and now have a cyst on my left about 2.8 cm that has been there since july. can/will they remove the cyst?

Accepted Answer

That's fairly large: and in most cases they would consider removing it if symptomatic.  However, they could follow it for a couple of years to see if it is changing and whether you are having symptoms before deciding whether to remove.  If they would have to remove the entire ovary and you want children, they would be less likely to want to operate.  At any rate, it would be your decision to make.  Good luck!

Question 7

i had a cyst removed  about a month ago it is not healing-i have skin loss the size of a quarter and now a big hole that doesn't seem to be closing ?

Accepted Answer

See a dr: The best way to treat skin issues is to see them in person. Plus it sounds like you might need antibiotics or some other treatment since it isn't healing on its own.

Question 8

stable 3.5 cm simple cyst has been followed for 1 year.  ovary has now increased in size from 24 cc to 71 cc. slight discomfort. should it be removed?

Accepted Answer

GYN: If you are having excessive pain. severe pelvic cramping or bleeding, these would be indications for removal after you have had imaging and testing for ovarian disease.

Question 9

i had a cyst on my scalp that i got removed a few years ago. i now have another one that has grown in a different locatio..why do i keep getting them?

Accepted Answer

Inherited condition: Scalp cysts are called pilar cysts.  They are often inherited.  We don't understand what makes these develop. They are benign, and when large and have risk of rupture, we excise them.  We don't know how to prevent these from developing.

Question 10

bartholin cyst removed. now it is painful during intercourse?

Accepted Answer

Vaginal cyst ?'s: If the Bartholin's cyst was removed surgically (i.e., not just "lanced" and drained), the site will remain sensitive for 4-5 weeks but should diminish in pain after that.  If still tender, see the gyn who removed the cyst for an exam.  Cysts like this can reform.
