cysts are usually a sweeling formed by fluid inside a thin wall. Usually they are pretty harmless.\nSome can be cancerous  eg ovarian cysts. The only way to know for sure is by examing the tissue under a microscope.\nSometimes harmless/benign cysts can turn cancerous. again there will be signs eg sudden increase in size, irregularity, rock-like hardness etc that will signal these cancerous changes. If u ever get any such symptoms in a cyst that was previously proved to be benign, show urself to a doctor.

They can range from blood filled to green. Yours will probably be a type of strep infection. If these cysts continue to come back especially in the groin,buttock,perianal, armpit, and breast area, talk to your doctor about a disease called Hidradenitis Suppurativa. It is misdiagnosed for years until it has started to develop sinus tracts. There is no known cure, but it's not something that is going to kill you either, but you will be  putting up with cysts the rest of your life. I hope you do not have this disease, but just in case the cysts do keep coming back here are some sites that you can go to and print out and take to your doctor.

A lump that is painful or not painful can still be a cancer.  If it is painful it probably is a cyst but cancers can arise in cysts as well as in any other part of the breast.  Hear is the important point: has it changed over the past months or year? If it is the same old lump then whether it changes during cycle or not, whether it is tender or not doesn't matter.  IF it is bigger or differently shaped or just doesn't feel the same as it did last fall - see a doctor.

Yes, you absolutely have to go to the doctor. They happen all the time. And they are easy for a doctor to remove. It is probably a localized lymph node infection or a dermoid cyst. or maybe it is even a ganglion cyst. But you need to have it removed. \n\nInternet diagnosis isn't reliable. You need to talk to a doctor.

Well it depends what kind of cysts she has. There are some that are just cyclical..meaning, they grow and burst each month. Those are considered "normal". If she has one that continues to remain large, it will most likely need to be removed surgically. Often a woman can lose that ovary. You should try to find out what kind she has for more information.\n\nSide effects..the cylical ones hurt when they burst.

Most women have probably had an ovarian cyst at one time or another, but they don't know it. Many cysts develop and disappear on their own over the course of a couple of months. There are different kinds of cysts, and the kind you had will make a difference. I had a cyst that was the size of a golf ball and didn't know it until I had a CT scan for a kidney stone. A month after the scan (after dealing with the kidney stone), I saw my gynecologist and she sent me in for an ultrasound. The cyst was completely gone. She told me that standard practice used to be to do a biopsy when the cyst was as large as mine, but now they just monitor them, and deal with them if they cause pain, bleeding, or other symptoms. \n\nIt's good that you're going to see your doctor.

Well, I would think that since "you" found the cyst, meaning you can read ultrasounds, you should be able to afford at CAT scan. If that info is wrong, complex cysts are not normal in the kidney, this could be cancer or just a cyst. A CAT is the only test to determine this. You could try going to the Charity Hospital closest to you. They provide services based on your income.

They can rupture causing extreme pain and sometimes bleeding that may require surgery to control. If you have numerous cysts that rupture it can lead to scarring of the ovaries and possibly infertility.  Many women have cysts at some point that rupture they have some pain but associate it with pulled muscles or bad cramps.  Persistent pain or chronic cysts may indicate other medical issues that need to be treated. You need to see your OBGYN and talk with him or her about cysts, treatment options and how they can affect your fertility. Women with multiple cysts should be checked out for poly cystic ovarian syndrome. there is a medication called Metformin that is very useful in treating this disorder and in many cases has restored fertility in some women.

Ovarian Cyst Definition\nAn ovarian cyst is a fluid-filled sac that develops near the surface of the ovary. The ovaries are two small organs on each side of a woman's uterus that produce eggs and female hormones. Mostly an ovarian cyst is small and benign (not cancerous). However, the larger ovarian cyst can cause pain and other problems. A woman can develop one or many ovarian cysts.\n\nOvarian Cyst Causes\nStructures called follicles normally grow in the ovaries each month. They produce hormones and release an egg during ovulation. In some cases, follicles may become cysts. There are two main types: \n\nFunctional cyst – occurs when a normal monthly follicle does not mature properly and the egg is not released. These cysts often go away on their own within one to three menstrual cycles.\nFollicular cyst – can occur after an egg is released. These cysts usually go away on their own in a few weeks.\n\nMost ovarian cysts are functional cysts and only occur during childbearing years. Many other, less common types of benign cysts can also develop from ovarian tissue. For example, women with endometriosis may develop endometriomas. Endometriosis is a condition in which tissue from the uterine lining grows outside the uterus. Endometriomas are cysts that grow from the uterine tissue on an ovary.\n\nPolycystic ovary syndrome is also associated with cysts. Women with this condition have several small cysts in their ovaries.\n\nA very small percentage of women have cysts that are caused by cancer.\n\nOvarian Cyst Risk Factors\nA risk factor is something that increases your chances of getting a disease or condition. The main risk factor for ovarian cyst is being a woman of childbearing age.\n\nOvarian Cyst Symptoms\nMost ovarian cysts do not cause symptoms. When they do, pelvic pain and irregular menstrual bleeding are the two most common symptoms. Pain is usually caused by: \n\nDirect pressure from the cysts on the ovaries and surrounding structures. This causes chronic pelvic fullness or a dull ache.\nBleeding from a cyst into and around the ovary. This causes more intense, sharp pain.\n\nPain may come and go on a regular basis. Or, it may become more noticeable just before or after a period or during intercourse.\n\nOther symptoms may include: \n\nUrinary discomfort associated with bladder pressure or irritation\nNausea\nDiarrhea\n\nIn rare cases, an ovarian cyst may become twisted and cut off its own blood supply. This can cause severe abdominal pain, vomiting, and fever. This requires immediate medical attention.\n\nOvarian Cyst Diagnosis\nThe doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history, and perform a pelvic exam. This includes feeling the ovaries. ovarian cysts are often found during routine pelvic exams when there are no symptoms.\n\nIf a cyst is suspected or found on physical exam, the doctor may recommend a pelvic ultrasound. This is a test that uses sound waves to create images of the ovaries, from which the doctor can determine the type and size of the cyst, and if treatment is needed.\n\nOther tests or procedures may be used if a cyst: \n\nDoes not go away after several menstrual cycles\nGets larger and more painful\nDoes not appear to be a simple functional cyst\n\nOther tests may include: \n\nLaparoscopy – A thin, lighted tube and other small instruments are inserted through several tiny incisions in the abdomen to look at the ovaries directly, drain fluid from a cyst, or take a sample for biopsy.\nBlood test for the protein CA-125 – This test is done when a cyst is suspected of being cancerous. CA-125 is sometimes elevated in the case of ovarian cancer.\n\nOvarian Cyst Treatment\nTreatment depends on your age, menstrual status, the size and type of the cyst, and your symptoms. The main types of treatment are:\n\nWait and See – This approach involves waiting a few months to see if the cyst goes away on its own.\n\nBirth Control Pills – If you have a functional cyst, your doctor may prescribe bi

Sounds like a Baker's cyst. These are common and usually not too serious.\nYou should still go see a doctor anyways.

Technically yes, since a "Tumor" means a "swelling" and a blow to the head can cause a bump. \n\nIf you, however, mean cancerous growth (which is probably what you are talking about), then no.

To whom it may concern,\n\nIt could be oarian cyst or it could be that you are pregnant? If I were you, I would go to my doctor and have a pregnancy test done and ask for other tests to come along with it. So that way you can be safe knowing the answers instead of having to do it later in life.

Could it be enlarged Lymph nodes or an Cysts?

It depends which type of cancer you're talking about. You could loose weight. If it involves respiratory system, cough is evident, sore throat, hoarseness, dyspnea. Gastointestinal, abdominal pain, change in bowel habit/pattern, constipation and diarhhea, bloody stool. Genitourinary, bloody urine. For lumps, it could be only a cyst that could easily be excised by the doctor, not all lumps are cancerous.

Most likely just a preesure point but if it does not go away in a week see a doctor. could be a tumer (most likely not) or Cyst.

Probably a benign cyst and nothing to worry about, but its always wise to get these things checked out by a doctor :D
