What is cysts, its symptoms, diagnosis and treatment?


Answer:
--A cyst is a closed sac- or bladder-like structure that is not a normal part of the tissue where it is found. Cysts are common and can occur anywhere in the body in persons of any age. Cysts usually contain a gaseous, liquid, or semisolid substance. Cysts vary in size; they may be detectable only under a microscope or they can grow so large that they displace normal organs and tissues. The outer wall of a cyst is called the capsule.


--Cysts can arise through a variety of processes in the body, including:

"Wear and tear" or simple obstructions to the flow of fluid
Infections
Tumors
Chronic inflammatory conditions
Genetic (inherited) conditions
Defects in developing organs in the embryo

--What are the signs and symptoms of a cyst and how are they diagnosed?

Sometimes you can feel a cyst yourself when you feel an abnormal "lump". For example, cysts of the skin or tissues beneath the skin are usually noticeable. Cysts in the mammary glands (breasts) also may be palpable (meaning that you can feel them when you examine the area with your fingers). Cysts of internal organs such as the kidneys or liver may not produce any symptoms or may not be detected by the affected individual. These cysts often are first discovered by imaging studies (x-ray, ultrasound, computerized tomography or CAT Scan, and magnetic resonance imaging or MRI).
a cyst can be alot of things. it could be tissue, fluid, or air. some go away but some need to be removed surgically. i had one on my left wrist. doctor said it was just built up fluid and it would go away. and it did.
My friend just had an ovarian cyst. If you want information on those, check here:

Ovarian cysts get to be around the size of a grapefruit (my friend's was the size of a bowling ball though) and can have teeth and/or hair growing in them (don't ask how...).

For other cysts, check here:
