can u heal a cyst on the pituary with medication?

Question

Hi I have a question i had a MRI done and they found a cyst in my pituitary i was wondering how they treat it it is 5mm x 2 in size , ?

Answer 1

Ipituitary: You cannot 'heal' as in cause it to go away. There is a possibility that it may shrink if the correct medication to adjust any problems with the hormones that are affected by the 'cyst'the which i assume is a tumor. Usually 'cysts' in the brain do not contain the cells producing hormones abnormally, but benign brain tumors which usually do in the pituitary. Medications help symptoms not 'cure'...

Answer 2

Could be normal: Cysts in the kidneys could be a normal finding if they are simple and one or 2 in number. They may be a sign if a disease called poly cystic kidney disease if they are numerous and bilateral depending on age and if there is family history. Cysts occur with aging and usually if someone is on dialysis they may have cysts.

Answer 3

Common: Renal cortical cysts fall into 2 categories: simple and complex. A simple cyst usually requires no further treatment and are fairly common. They may require drainage or removal if they grow too large. A complex cyst requires close follow-up and possible treatment, as some may represent a cystic form of kidney cancer. Talk to your doctor or see a urologist for further evaluation.

Answer 4

Nothing: Simple renal cortical cysts are common incidental findings. They do not turn into cancer. They are benign and generally require no treatment.

Answer 5

Here are some ...: If the diagnosis for renal simple cortical cyst has been well-established according to the imaging study - usually with renal ultrasound, the most reasonable course of care is leaving it alone with periodic renal ultrasound, one time in one year and another time in another two years. It remaining stable, there is no need for further test. For further information? Ask Dr. timely.

Answer 6

Oral ?: The oral lymphoepithelial cyst develops within a benign lymphoid aggregate or accessory tonsil of the oral or pharyngeal mucosa. The surface of such aggregates may be indented with tonsillar crypts, as are the much larger pharyngeal tonsils of the lateral pharyngeal walls. The crypts may become obstructed by keratin or other debris, or surface opening may become constricted . See ENT doctor.

Answer 7

Benign: A lymphoepithelial cyst is a benign cyst in the salivary gland tissue. It may be derived from salivary epithelium with lymph tissue reaction. Most commonly involves parotid tissue (side aid face and jaw).

Answer 8

Tonsil Cyst: Tonsil cysts are usually visible on the surface of the tonsil and can be seen during an oral exam. If you are concerned about a tonsil cyst, make sure to see your primary care provider or your local ear nose and throat specialist.

Answer 9

Direct inspection: You can usually see a cyst on the tonsil. Other conditions such as papilloma can also be identified directly. Best to see your otolaryngologist for an exam and proper diagnosis.

Answer 10

Rarely: After looking at google search results, a couple of cases of floating cysts are found. One is a tiny cyst (a little round thing with liquid in the center) floating in the liquid of the eyeball in front of the pupil and iris. Another is a cyst in the abdomen of a fetus (it formed from an ovary that had twisted off its normal connections). Floating cyst just means it is not connected to something.

Answer 11

Maybe? Infection?: In the pubic area, this is most likely an infected hair follicle or small skin abscess. It could be due to MRSA a very common and painful staph infection seen commonly today. You may have a sebaceous cyst as well. If it were lower down on the lips of the vaginal area, one would be concerned with a bartholin's cyst. Use lots of soap and water, antibiotic ointment and observe. If worse get seen.
