Ganglion Cyst Removal Cost/?
I have a ganglion cyst well at least that what the doctor think it is. They have to put me a sleep because they have to someother stuff with the bone(wrist) that the ganglion cyst is near. How much could i be looking at? Do i have to pay for the general anesthesia?
It was like this since april and it is gettin bigger...and the blood flow isnt normal...i go for surgery in a week or so...How much is the doctor bill going to be? Anyone ever had this done before. How much did it cost? They tried draining to 3-4 times but it was too hard and thick. Anyone ever had this done. How much did it cost?.Hopefully no more than 500 bucks.
Ganglion Cyst Removal Cost($)?
I don't know what "other" work you having done or why, the cyst must be removed and the cost is usually put together. I don't know why your looking at the cost when it's going to help your health but, I had one in my wrist and they fixed my hand, put a plate in, the total was $7000.00. I don't think you can get a tooth pulled for $500.00.
The anesthesiologist will charge that much.
Reply:Do you have health insurance? If you do, don't worry! The surgeon/surgery center/anesthesiologist should file with your insurer, then you can arrange to pay the rest.
We cannot even estimate what this will cost you--so much depends on your location (state), how complicated the procedure will be, if there will be a biopsy, how much/what type of anesthesia you will need, how much time you spend in the recovery room....there are just too many variations.
If you do not have health insurance, ask your physician or surgeon for a cost estimate. Ask him/her to include an estimate of what the anesthesia will cost. In fact, ask for a "rough estimation" of the total costs. Ask if you may arrange to make payments.
I worked in healthcare billing for 7 years and most hospitals and surgeons are willing to work with uninsured patients who want to make payments.
I had a ganglionic cyst removed but it was 10 years ago, so I cannot compare costs.

Pregnant had a cyst. ....Could the cyst still give me pain?
Not sure if it went away, but I had the worst pain ever a month ago they said it was probably the cyst and that I shouldn't feel anymore pain. Well I feel it everyday and I'm preg. It's not round ligament or appendix. I'm so scared.. No one knows what it could be. I know you can't get a cyst while preg b/c no ovulation.. So could the cyst still be giving me pain??
Pregnant had a cyst. ....Could the cyst still give me pain?
Definately. And just cause your prego doesn't mean you don't get cyst. Those little bugars just show up uninvited. The only one you probably wouldn't get is the functioning cyst that bursts when you ovulate to release the egg every month. So since you're prego, you obviously aren't releasing an egg every month. I had a nasty one that was pretty big and painful. The doctors put me on birth control and it magically went away. I'm not sure what they can do for you when you're prego. Talk to you doc.
Reply:yes it can.
Reply:yup, it could. have you seen your gynecologist about it and discussed your pain?
Reply:cysts are actually somewhat common during pregnancy. they can cause miscarriages, so go check it out with your dr. asap.
Reply:Yes. An ovarian cyst is very painful and can cause you a great deal of pain. It can sometimes make you double over, the pain gets so bad. There is nothing that can be done about the cyst when pregnant. After you have delivered your healthy baby, you can ask them to drain the cyst. They usually rupture and when this happens it is very painful.
Reply:Absolutely. Doctors always try to tell you that you shouldn't be in pain, but they don't know, it's not their body. Cysts can hurt even after they're gone. They disturb and displace the nearby tissues and it may take awhile to get back to normal. They can also cause adhesions that will hurt until you get them removed. That happened to me. But be persistent if you keep feeling it. Explain to the doctor that you are in fact in pain and concerned. Hopefully he or she will listen. If not, get a second opinion. Good luck.

Worried about possible ovarian cyst?
"I went to the ER in August b/c I was having an early miscarriage. They did an ultrasound to confirm the miscarriage (which was a blighted ovum), and found I had a 21mm cyst on my right ovary (which made sense b/c I was having sharp shooting pains in my right side and I was worried I had an ectopic pregnancy). They said it was small and functional (possible corpus luteum) and not to worry about it. Got my period about 35 days later (normal for me) and everything was back to normal (no pains). My second cycle post-miscarriage was really weird. When I ovulated (I know when b/c I use a fertility monitor to track my cycle) it was late (day 22) and I had severe bloating and cramping the evening I ovulated, then it went away, but for the 2 weeks before my period I had weird symptoms that made me think I was pregnant (breasts got huge, felt sick to my stomach, etc). And when I did get my period I felt a little throbbing on my right side for the 1st day or so. Then it went away. Now my 3rd post-miscarriage period is due either tomorrow or Monday, and I have felt some little jabs in my right side. I should mention I've been to my OBGyn twice in the last 4 weeks as well as the ER (there was no pain but I was just worrying myself sick b/c I tend to obsess about this kind of stuff and I wanted to be seen asap) and had 3 pelvic exams and was told everything was completely normal and my ovaries felt totally normal and not to worry. But I can't help worrying... do you think the cyst they found on the ultrasound went away and these are all different cysts? Will the cysts keep me from getting PG? Could I have had these all my life and never known? Some info on me that may h
elp- I'm 29, have an 18-month-old son, weigh 130 pounds (small framed), and my younger sister was dx with a functional cyst before that was found via pelvic exam- it went away after a few months. Hubby and I will start trying for #2 in a few weeks so I just want to make sure everything is good to go! Thanks in advance!"
Worried about possible ovarian cyst?
Let it be.Sometimes go to the Gynecologist.
Reply:Sometimes the doctor will give you birth control to regulate your period and sometimes the pills may get rid of the ovarian cysts. That is what the doctor gave me to help me out with my ovarian cysts. Sorry if this does not help, I think I went out of the subject.

Dermal Cyst?
I have a small lump under my ear and by an ultra sound the local surgeon said it was a dermal cyst that is going to have to be removed. At first however she throught that it was a swollen lymphnod. She explained what that was but not what the dermal cyst was. Can anyone explain what a dermal cyst is? Any information at all would be nice the more the better! Thanks
Dermal Cyst?
dermal cyst is a cyst in the derma or skin.this is a common location for these .it is a pocket of fluid or debris that is trapped under the skin. sometimes these become infected

Anyone have pilonidal cyst? what were your symptoms?
I have pretty bad pain in the tail bone area but I don't really feel a cyst there however it is red and feels really inflammed. At first when I woke in the morning with this pain I thought maybe I just had a bad pimple with an awful lot of pressure but now I don't thinkso, it hurt a lot last night too and it hurts sitting, the pain gets worse at times and then settles a bit, I have only had it for a few days, any ideas? Does it sound like a pilonidal cyst. When you had a cyst could you actually feel a cyst in there or was it too deep?
Anyone have pilonidal cyst? what were your symptoms?
The best diagnosis via the web is that yes- you are describing a pilonidal cyst. It's actually a birth defect, believe it or not- and one of the most common, although folks don't think of them that way. It originally formed when you were a fetus and your spinal cord closed to form your backbone. A bit of skin was trapped in a fold, along with possibly a hair follicle and sweat gland. Sometimes they sit there for years, lifetimes in some cases, and never do anything. Sometimes, though, that sweat gland and hair decide to go on overtime. Without an exit pore, it all has nowhere to go, and what you recognize as a cyst forms. There is a chance yours has a small opening and can drain a little, which would explain why it comes and goes. Unfortunately the absolute cure means a minor surgery. In the meantime, you can make yourself more comfortable by soaking your tush in a hot bath. That will encourage it to drain a bit, if it can. If it is just a pimple or boil, it will form a head and drain, and though it's messy and uncomfortable, that will be it. But to be safest, you should go see the doctor for an evaluation. The cyst will get bigger, and more painful, until it makes it really impossible to sit or think about anything else except your painful tail. It may feel like a lump, hard or soft, depending on how close to the skin surface it is and how large the cyst actually is. Size isn't really critical, because the size really doesn't seem to have much relationship to the pain it can cause. Though the cure sounds radical, and it will take a week out of your life to recouperate, it's actually not as bad or as painful as the worsening cyst can get. So soak your tush, and call the doctor for an appointment to get it taken care of.
Reply:Yes I have had one 35 years ago very painful and it won't go away on it's own. It will subside and then return I had surgery.
I was told it was a ingrown hair that grows back in your skin and wraps around your tail bone forming a Pilonidal sinus very very painful. Go to your doctors and have it treated the longer you have it the more painful it gets.
I hope this helps.

Ovarian Cyst Vs Pregnancy?
I Just found out I'm pregnant. (5 weeks along) And something I am very concerned about, is that I have had ovarian cysts in the past and i have one on my right ovary as of right now (simple cyst) I am worried about Miscarrying or having an Ectopic pregnancy..Has anyone had/have ovarian cysts and gone through a healthy pregnancy (the first time) also What are the chances? I am definatly going to talk to my doctor in a few weeks when i'm due for my appointment but i was really concerned and thought I would ask your your guys's insight as well. t
Ovarian Cyst Vs Pregnancy?
My daughter-in-law found out she was pregnant BECAUSE she had an oviarian cyst. My grandson has Autism, but I'm fairly confident the cyst has nothing to do with it. (Autism runs in my family.) She didn't have any problems with her pregnancy, so relax, you and junior will be fine. Oh, and congratulations.
Reply:A cyst SHOUDL be on your ovary right now. This is what supports your pregnancy until the placenta takes over. The mroe serious cysts, shouldnt interfere once conception takes place. I was told 20 years ago I woudl likely never have any children due to severe PCOS, so yeah I had some cysts all right!! BUT I now have 2 healthy children with # 3 due any day now.
Reply:My doctor detected that I had a cyst on my right ovary at my 6 month office check. I had to go back at 8 weeks so that she can measure it to make sure it went down. It didn't go down much so I had to go back again at 10 weeks. It finally reduce in size so she wasn't worry about it anymore. I'm 38 weeks now. Good luck
Reply:Depends on what kind of ovarian cyst (benign vs. malignant) and the size.
You said you have a simple cyst, that's rather benign and common in women. What would be interesting is the size of the cyst. There have been case reports where ovarian cysts (whether benign or malignant) produced successful pregnancies (pregnancies without complications). Just go to your OB and have regular prenatal check-ups.
Anyways, congrats on the new baby.
Reply:I have PCOS and was diagnosed about 10 years ago with cysts covering both ovaries. They don't go away and I now have a 5 year old and a 2 1/2 year old. Your OBGYN should know about your cyst and will monitor you to make sure it doesn't cause complications. If you start feeling a lot of pain where the cyst is tell the Dr. If you start having pain on just one side make sure to tell the Dr and they can do a scan for ectopic pregnancy but the cyst shouldn't cause one but they can find the baby on ultrasound around 6 wks so you are almost there.

Bartholin cyst vs. Cancer...differences?
What is the difference between having a bartholin cyst and having vaginal cancer? I found a lump down there and belive it to be a cyst since i've had a history of having cysts in that area. I'm 22 but i'm petrified at the thought of cancer.The lump does not hurt and doesn't feel hard but it doesn't feel completely fluid like either. It's the size of a peanut or walnut and started out small but for the past few monthes has grown slowly. Any help?
Bartholin cyst vs. Cancer...differences?
Bartholin's gland cysts are mucus-filled and occur on either side of the vaginal opening. They are the most common large vulvar cysts. Symptoms of large cysts include vulvar irritation, dyspareunia, pain with walking, and vulvar asymmetry. Bartholin's cysts may form abscesses, which are painful and usually red. Diagnosis is by physical examination. Large cysts and abscesses require drainage with or without excision; abscesses sometimes require antibiotics. (Merck)
A chronic Bartholin's duct cyst may develop if the fluid of the abscess is scraped off from the surrounding tissue. In women over the age of 40, a swollen Bartholin's gland may mean there is a tumor in the gland, although this is very rare.
Cysts are usually palpable near the vaginal orifice. They can distend the affected labia majora, causing vulvar asymmetry.
Vulvar cancers, some of which develop from Bartholin's glands, may resemble cysts. Consequently, cysts are biopsied in women %26gt; 40.
Vulvar cancer is usually a squamous cell skin cancer, most often occurring in elderly women. It usually manifests as a palpable lesion. Diagnosis is by biopsy. Treatment includes excision and inguinal and femoral lymph node dissection.
Reply:a cyst you will be able to move around inbetween your fingers, cancer doesn't move as it is usually attatched to something.
cysts are puss filled pockets, where as cancer is a solid mass. you need to have it drained. the doctor will rule out cancer upon test results.
good luck!
