In some people, small granular lumps occasionally appear on the body, and they can appear in a variety of forms. But it is not clear what these small lumps are.

First of all, these small lumps are medically called cysts, which are treated in hospitals under the scope of dermatology. It usually grows on the surface of the body.

But sometimes it also grows in the internal organs, and a cyst is a benign mass of an organ, or tissue, that survives in the body and has a yellow, fluid-like interior.

01

What is a cyst?

A cyst is a benign condition that can grow on the surface of the body or in the internal organs. A cyst is a benign mass that grows in one of the internal organs, in the shape of a sac, and whose contents are liquid.

Generally speaking, the most common cysts are "kidney cyst", "liver cyst", "simple ovarian cyst" and "chocolate cyst The most common cysts are "kidney cyst", "liver cyst", "simple ovarian cyst" and "chocolate cyst". Kidney cysts are divided into simple isolated kidney cysts and polycystic kidneys.

Cysts grow slowly and can be asymptomatic for a long time or life. Their clinical manifestations will vary according to the location, size, and several cysts, and the presence or absence of compression of adjacent organs.

Small cysts do not cause any discomfort and are usually discovered unintentionally. Large cysts can cause pressure on the surrounding tissues and cause pain or related abnormal symptoms.

02

Cysts are not equal to tumors

Cysts are not tumors in the traditional sense, which is a benign disease. A cyst is a cystic tumor, a benign tumor, and it is benign. A cyst has an envelope outside of it, and inside the envelope are some soft tissues.

Sometimes it is some fluid, inflammatory secretion, inflammatory tissue, or fluid tissue. Common cysts such as liver cysts and kidney cysts.

Tumors are usually solid in the middle. The tumor is a neoplastic organism formed by the body under the action of various pathogenic factors, and this neoplastic organism mostly shows occupying changes. It is usually a bulge or swelling, and this kind of tumor includes benign and malignant tumors.

Smaller cysts can usually be found during physical examinations, and patients do not have any discomfort. However, it is also best to review them regularly, as some cysts can become cancerous.

If ultrasound indicates cystic lesions, the possibility of cancer is higher, especially ovarian cysts must be cautious, generally, more than 5cm is recommended to be surgically removed.

4 causes of cysts.

1. Genetic factors

The genetic factor is one of the more common causes of ovarian cysts, according to a survey, 20% of ovarian cysts are caused by genetic factors. So if there is a history of ovarian cysts in the family, the chances of ovarian cysts occurring in their offspring will increase.

2. Dietary factors

If the patient has inflammatory lesions and often eats foods containing estrogen in daily life, or eats spicy, oily, and other irritating foods for a long time. This may also lead to the occurrence of cystic disease.

3. Environmental factors

With the improvement in people's living conditions, there are now vegetables and fruits in the opposite season, but these vegetables and fruits contain certain growth hormones. So if people eat this kind of food for a long time, it will easily cause ovarian cysts to occur.

4. Drug abuse

To have a youthful life, many women will consciously use various drugs to help them regulate. However, most of the drugs contain different levels of hormones.

These drugs can enter the body and cause endocrine disorders in women, which in turn can lead to ovarian cysts. Therefore, you must pay attention to the use of medications in your life.

Doctors remind: most cysts do not need to be treated, but cysts appear in 3 places, or to be alert

1. Pancreatic cysts

Pancreatic cysts can be divided into pseudocysts and true cysts. If it is a pancreatic pseudocyst, it must be treated promptly, especially if it is a large cyst.

Infection occurs within the cyst and severe infection can develop into an abscess and the patient can have unbearable abdominal pain and even cause sepsis. For tumorigenic pancreatic cysts, the biggest danger is the tendency of cancer to become tumorigenic pancreatic cysts.

This includes plasmacytic pancreatic cysts, pancreatic mucinous cysts, intraductal papillary mucinous tumors of the pancreas, and solid pseudopapillary tumors with high cancer incidence. Therefore, once detected, they should be treated actively.

2. Ovarian cysts

Physiological cysts less than 5 cm in diameter usually disappear on their own, at which point the patient only needs to go to the hospital for regular follow-up after three menstrual cycles. If pathological cysts are still present, they are classified as non-tumorigenic and tumorigenic.

Non-tumor nature is generally benign tumor nature has benign malignant and junctional, benign junctional cancer rate is 1%~10%. If the cyst grows faster in short term, the possibility of cancer is higher.

3. Liver cysts

Liver cysts are also very common in clinical practice and refer to cysts that grow in the liver area. As the number and size of cysts increase, they can bring serious damage problems to the liver. Liver cysts do not require additional treatment, except parasitic liver cysts.

Parasitic liver cysts are parasitic worms that invade the intestine and enter the liver with the blood vessels, where the parasites reach the liver and develop into adult worms, forming liver worm cysts. Surgery is required, otherwise, it will cause great damage to the liver and has the possibility of malignant transformation.

You can't eat fermented food, fermented food is mainly fermented by bacteria, such as rotten eggs and tofu milk, etc. You must not eat such food, otherwise, it will aggravate the disease.

Spicy condiments, etc., that are not suitable for patients to eat in their lives. If often eaten, it is easy to lead to intestinal symptoms, and then aggravateaggravates the discomfort.
