Question 1

should i be worried about blood cysts? i keep noticing what i think would be best described as small blood cysts (blood filled pockets of skin) that generally pop easily (usually just by a little pressure from my finger, though they've been getting more d

Accepted Answer

I : I think it would be worth visiting your doctor to discuss this.  One condition that can cause little "blood cysts" is thrombocytopenic pupura, which is caused by an abnormally low platelet count.   If that's what's going on, then it would be important to know because it would put you at risk for major hemorrhages and because it could reflect other health problems.

Question 2

i have a few small fluid-filled lumps around a scar from where i had a pilonidal cyst drained a couple years ago. no sign of cyst beneath skin.

Accepted Answer

Recurrence?: It could be coming back again. Keep an eye on it, and if they start draining, or especially if the skin gets red, call and be seen by your surgeon or primary care provider. Hope this helps!

Question 3

i have a small corpus luteum cyst but also a "simple fluid filled" 8 cm cyst the mfm ob said is likely to rupture. will it hurt the baby? i'm 21wks.

Accepted Answer

Probably not: If the sonographic appearance of the 8 cm asymptomatic ovarian cyst is "suggestive of a benign lesion" and you and your MFM Ob are not suspecting a malignancy, the risks of ov. cyst rupture, torsion, bleeding ...at 21 wks are relatively small compared to those of surgical exploration. If it becomes smaller and rises above your pelvis,  it is not likely to affect the course of your labor either. ✅

Question 4

what does the term "full" kidney mean in a given result of an ultrasound? but not having to do with urine. my daughter has a small fluid filled cyst on one of her kidneys, she under
goes repeated ultrasounds. now there is an issue ith her other kidney, vi

Accepted Answer

I : I have heard this term used with fetal ultrasounds - (pyelectasis) which means that there can be dilation of the central part of the kidney.  I will change this from unspecified specialty to diagostic radiologist, to get a better chance of getting exact info. I suggest that you ask your doctor what he specifically meant whe using the term "full kidney".

Question 5

i am observing a cyst in my scrotum under left testicle? i tried to aspirate this , there was small quantity of yellowish fluid , after this cyst become so smal but after two days i come again and filled like air in that, what is this? is it serious?

Accepted Answer

: It is dangerous to do  what you did. It could be a Hydrocele if inside the scrotum. Pl see a Urologist for correct diag. and treatment. Wish you well

Question 6

i have 3 small fibroids and a few small fluid filled ovarian cysts would switching from sprintec 28 to lo loestrin fe affect the size of the fibroids?

Accepted Answer

Maybe, maybe not: All oral contraceptive pills contain small amounts of estrogen which can be absorbed by the uterine fibroids and sometimes enhance their enlargement. Some women with fibroids are unaffected by the use of oral contraceptive estrogen and the fibroids show no growth over time.

Question 7

i have multiple small ovarian cysts and a mucus filled cyst in my cervix. symptoms: pelvic pain, bruising, sore breasts, fever. what is going on?

Accepted Answer

Common findings: The multiple cysts on your ovaries are common for women of your age. The cervix cyst is also abnormal variant. The pain and sore breasts could also be attributed to "normal" variations in your cycle. The fever and bruising should be worked up by your PCP. From a Gyn standpoint, these seem like common findings, but should be talked about with your doctors.

Question 8

very small yellow round cyst like swelling right above/attached the right tonsil. had a head cold before this appeared, looks like it is filled with soft material/mucus? no fever, no swelling of lymph nodes and sore throat has cleared. virus?

Accepted Answer

: If those are benign collections due to the possibly viral infection they should improve and resolve within the next 5-7 days. You should see an ENT doctor if they get bigger or persist until next week.

Question 9

are fluid filled cysts always benign?

Accepted Answer

At your age: A simple fluid filled cyst in the ovary is almost always benign. Followup ultrasound is generally not done unless the cyst is over 5cm in size or it has features that are suspicious for something other than a simple cyst.

Question 10

does getting a small cyst removed hurt?

Accepted Answer

Cyst Removal: I assume you are talking about a cyst under the skin somewhere.  Yes, it hurts.  But not badly.  We use lidocaine to numb the area so you get a couple of shots with a small sharp needle.  That is the only pain you feel.  We then remove the cyst and sew up the skin.  It will be sore for a few days.
