What is a cyst?

Currently, quite often patientsdifferent doctors hear about the diagnosis of "cyst". Gynecologists, dentists, neurologists and a number of other specialists may not be happy with the formulation of such a diagnosis. It sounds, of course, frightening, but is it really a scare? In this article we will consider what a cyst is, what kinds of cysts it is, find out the causes of the onset of this disease and the methods of its treatment.

Kista (in Greek means "bubble")Is a pathological neoplasm that consists of a wall and a liquid and can be formed in different organs and tissues of the human body. Cysts come in different sizes, with different contents and structure of the wall. The specific parameters of education depend on the location, the prescription of the existence of the cyst and the mechanism of its appearance. Most often they are formed in the ovaries and skin.

Types of cysts

Consider what kind of cysts there are and what is the difference.

True (they are lined with epithelium)
False (do not have a lining of the epithelium)
Purchased
Congenital (arise even in the process of forming tissues and organs)

Depending on the mechanism of appearance of the cyst, they are distinguished into the following types:

Retinal cysts are usually acquired, appearin the glands due to the obstruction of the duct with a microscopic-sized debris or a thickened secret. Also, a swelling or scar may be the cause of the difficulty of outflow of secretion. The accumulating secret forms a cavity in the duct or lobe of the gland with mucous, greasy or watery contents. The wall of such a cyst is lined with a flattened epithelium of the gland or duct itself. Depending on the size and location of such cysts, they are treated in various ways, including promptly. Removal of a cyst of this kind is required, since it is believed that inside it there may be an infection, and the cyst is prone to spontaneous dissection, but the operation is carried out only if there is evidence for that.
Ramolytic cysts most often occur wheninflammation, hemorrhages and a heart attack due to necrosis of the tissue and its further softening. Cysts of this type are found in tumors, brain and spinal cord, ovaries, bones.
Parasitic cysts are caused by tapeworms, which in the process of their development in the body pass through the stage of the larva, which is a bubble.
Traumatic cysts are caused by the displacement of the epithelial tissue into the underlying tissue, resulting in a secret accumulating in the resulting cavity.
Dizontogenetic cyst, the causes of which lie in the embryonic developmental anomalies, is congenital and can occur in any organ or tissue.
Tumor cysts, as the name implies, are caused by tumors that interfere with normal metabolism in the gland.

Causes

Thus, the main reasons for the appearance of cysts are the following factors:

Infectious diseases that were not on time and properly cured
Hormonal problems
Decreased overall immunity
Blockage of gland ducts
Tumors
Inflammation and hypothermia
Injuries
Parasites
Necrosis of tissues

Cystic education in children

Unfortunately, not only adults facecysts, but also the parents of newborns or already grown up children, hear from a pediatrician such a diagnosis. We will find out why a cyst is produced in a child, and what to do about it. In children, most often, there are 3 types of cysts:

Arachnoid cyst. Different sizes are found in the brain. It can grow and cause developmental disorders of the child, so this type of cyst is removed promptly with the help of trepanation of the skull, endoscopic or shunting operation.
Vascular plexus cyst. As a rule, it passes without treatment. Provokes the appearance of such cysts experienced by a pregnant herpes, which infected the fetus.
Subependymal cyst. It is caused by necrosis of tissues, therefore, they are carefully monitored for such cysts.

It is especially important to notice in a timely manner the babywrong and consult a doctor. Early signs of cysts in infants are impaired vision and coordination of movements, as well as loss of sensitivity of the limbs.
