Brain Cyst?

Can you die from a brain cyst, what are some of the symptoms of a brain cyst?

Brain Cyst?
I just had an operation on October 17/2005.I had a cyst(tumor) in my ear canal millimetres from my brain. I did not know that i had it there, had alot of earaches all the time in there.My family doc just gave me drops all the time, and than he finally sent me to a surgeon and he had me go to do a CAT scan.There it was.If you are dizzy, it felt like i was having trails when i looked too fast,can't keep balance, i did get sick sometimes at nite, hard to concentrate. My surgeion told me about this guy who came in the hospital and died 36 hours after that cause it burst and that causes meningitis. He didn't know that he had it. I would advise to get it out.There was alot of risks, but i would deal with that instead of dying like that and i am fine the surgery was a success.Do not wait. Mine wasn't cancerous at all. I did lose 2/3 bones in my ear so i can't hear well out of the one, as the cyst broke them unrepairable. But i am alive and well so far.Just do it and get it looked at.

Vaginal Cyst?

I have a quarter sized vaginal cyst on my inner labia. I have tried warm compresses, soaking in a tub and nothing has changed. I can feel it while I am having inter cuorse and have noticed since it has been there the past 2 years, I have been experiencing vaginal dryness during inter course. Could the cyst be why? I have talked to my OB about it and she says that unless I am having pain then she can not do anything for it. Please help.

Vaginal Cyst?
You need to talk to her again.
Reply:See a homeopath. I have treated this condition quickly and efficiently.


Bakers Cyst?

I have a Bakers Cyst. I have had it for five years. I have recently had surgery to repair a torn minuscus. My Doc says that the cyst will go away. But it seems to be growing. What should I do?

Bakers Cyst?
Bakers Cyst (Popliteal Cyst)





--------------------------------------...





Definition


Baker's cyst, a collection of synovial fluid which has escaped from the knee joint or a bursa and formed a new synovial-lined sac in the popliteal space; seen in degenerative or other joint diseases.





Radiographic Appearance


Not generaly seen on a plain radiograph unless extensive, demonstrated on, a modified arthrogram, ultrasound, ct and MRI imaging.





Pathology


A baker’s cyst is a small (sometimes large) sack of fluid behind the knee. The sack itself is quite normal. Most people have one but it usually does not have enough fluid in it to be noticeable. It will cause problems only when it becomes swollen with fluid, especially if the comminication with the knee joint is via a one-way valve which lets fluid out into the cyst but prevents fluid from flowing back into the knee.


The fluid is almost always due to some problem within the joint itself such as arthritis or a torn cartilage. Occasionally the cyst fills up with fluid for other reasons.


Occasionally the cyst can leak fluid into the calf and cause calf sweeling, tightness %26amp; pain. This may even simulate a calf DVT (deep vein thrombosis)


It is easily diagnosed by a careful examination and an ultrasound scan.


Sometimes the cyst communication can be seen arthroscopically and the one-way flap valve excised.








Treatment:


It is best treated by treating the cause of the excess fluid (fixing the cartilage tear or arthritis) and then the Bakers cyst usually fades away. A large and persistent Bakers cyst may require surgical removal which is done through an incision across the back of the knee, although it can sometimes be removed by arthroscopic surgery direct to the cyst.

I have a cyst.?

i had gotten an ultrasound done and it came back that i have a 5cm cyst on my ovary and it has solid and fluid in it. i have to go for a MRI to make sure its not cancerous. i did some research they arent cancerous right lik there is a basically very very slight chance that it could be? idk about cysts at all infact the research i did makes no sense either, i shouldnt worry bout it though right?its jus a cyst?

I have a cyst.?
More than likely it's nothing. I had a 3 cm one on my ovary, the doc just put me on birth control pills. Don't worry until you have something to worry about.
Reply:dont worry! your doctor has take all precautions to make sure everything is ok. i have a cyst on my right ovary, and it freaked me out sooo bad too. usually they go away on their own, or i heard of some kind of pill that helps dissolve them. ive had mine for about 3 months and its actually painful. my best has tons of small ones on both ovaries that come and go, and her doctor also said its nothing to worry about. you are doing everything right by getting the MRI , so dont worry! :) i hope everything works out ok!!! good luck!
Reply:I had a cyst on one of my ovarys as well. Mine came back none cancerous. It went away on it's own and the doctor told me to stay on birth control pills to prevent them from forming. They are pretty common, and usually nothing to worry about.
Reply:don't worry about it at all. it's highly unlikely it will be cancerous. i had a cyst on my ovary as well about 3 years ago. honestly, there's nothing to worry about.

OVARIAN CYST, CAN IT MIMIC PREGNANCY? help me?

what would be the symptoms of ovarian cyst, if large would it cause pressure on your back? i've been having these weird pains on my left side from my mid to lower abdomen , also a lot of lower back pain that sometimes runs down my leg, when i lay down i feel a heavy pressure on my left side like if it where being pushed down ive been urinating alot and constipated ( when i have a small bowel movement my stool is very very dark), i am so worried, i've only had sex once, we used a condom and it was 2 days before my period ended, im scared to go to the hospital because i;ve been thinking im pregnant since the day after sex, i dont know i think it would be too much coincidence that i start having these symptoms 7 weeks after my first sex encounter, although cyst run in my family most women in my mothers side have gotten them when they were around my age, my mother also had one, but can it be too much coincidence or is it possible?

OVARIAN CYST, CAN IT MIMIC PREGNANCY? help me?
Well I had two rather large ovarian cyst about 14 months ago..they almost te size of footballs..anyway I never knew they were there for about 10 yrs they hid away on me..the only sign that I had them was that i would have extremely painful periods. Well last year I went to bed christmas night and on christmas morning I woke up in agonizing pain in my lower right back and it was reaching around to my lower right adomen..i went to work thinking ohh this should go away, but it didnt. They ended up calling a family member and rushing me to the er where I spent a better portion of the day. They did blood work and x-rays and nothing showed up in them but when the docter did a Cat Scan and Ultrasound they found the cyst...I would say it is possible or you to have cyst..





Ovarian cysts are very common. Most are related to ovulation and will disappear spontaneously. Cysts are usually diagnosed by vaginal examination or ultrasound. If the cyst persists it should be removed since it can rupture, undergo torsion or may be malignant. Benign cysts can be managed with the laparoscope, although if the cyst turns out to be a cancer it should be removed via a formal laparotomy. Depending on the situation and the age of the woman, the cyst may be removed on its own or the whole ovary may be removed.


Ovarian cyst?

I have been having pain in the left side where my ovary is, and it hurts into my left hip and the lower left side of my back hurts, but the right side where my ovary is swelled up. It also make my left leg hurt, and it hurts to sit, stand , or walk. It also feels full only on my left side...I have had an ovarian cyst before, but the only thing I had with it was alot of pain, and that was it.. I have an appt with my OBGYN march 5th, but I dont think I can wait that long. Could it be an ovarian cyst agian, or something else. I know noone knows for sure and this isn't a doctors office, but I need some advice.

Ovarian cyst?
I had a couple of Ovarian Cysts that resulted in Emergency surgery. I was informed that had the biggest one burst, I would have bled to death. It's nothing to mess around with. Get in and find out what's going on for sure, it might save your life.
Reply:I think you should get in ASAP. You dont want to fool around with pain like that. It almost sounds like you may have an ectopic pregnancy which is common if you have ovarian cysts. The lastthing you want is one of the fallopian tubes to burst. Get it checked out as soon as you can
Reply:Try a hot pad or hot bath. Zuke is right it could be an ectopic pregnancy or a twisted tube, etc. Better go to the ER.
Reply:If you are in alot of pain you should not wait.I use to get them alot when I was younger.It helps to use a heating pad to releave some of the discomfort.You also could have a kidney infection too.Also hot baths can help too.
Reply:Call your OB/GYN and tell them you're experiencing this pain...see if they can get you an earlier appt. If the pain gets worse, go to the ER...A cyst can ruture and cause you even more problems
Reply:Pls get in touch with the OB/GYN's office on Tues to see about getting in sooner than the 5th.





In the mean time because you are having a lot of pain either try a walk-in urgent care clinic or the ER.
Reply:sounds like same pain i had with my cyst. but that was only after mine burst. but i still have a couple on my right side and i feel some pain with them still, but nothing sever, just a little achy from time to time. but yes, what u said sounds like a cyst again. if the pain is unbearable try to go in to the doc sooner. if no appts available try another doc or the er. someone else mentioned the possibility of ectopic pregnancy, which is certainly possible, and urgent. but again, we cant know for sure. (i think u would feel a lot sicker if it were that though)


Ovary/cyst removal while 3 months pregnant??

I'm 3 months pregnant. I've had an 8cm cyst on my left ovary that my doctor's have been monitoring. I went to a specialist yesterday, and it's now 10cm. They are wanting to remove the cyst and the ovary within the next week and a half. They said they will have to cut from belly button down which is right where the baby is at. I'm a NERVOUS WRECK! I am going to have a specialist do it, but was curious has anyone had this happen or know anything about this?? Will the baby be ok? Especially with them opening my stomach completely up and being put under anesthesia? And removing my ovary...is this a major surgery-I'm literally scared to death and would like any advice anyone can give from experiences or knowledge. Thank you soo much!

Ovary/cyst removal while 3 months pregnant??
Calm down, they are not going to cut into your uterus where the baby is, remember they are going to cut from belly button down into your skin and go to the ovaries, not the uterus, about the anesthesia, it sounds like they want to take care of this cyst before it causes you and or the baby more harm, meaning it could grow and turn into cancer or something like that, and infect you and the baby. Dont worry, I know it is hard not to, but ask your doctor how this will effect the baby, and what are the risks if you do not have it done.
Reply:I pray that it will go well. Ive never experienced this situation.
Reply:don't worry everything is going to be ok!! my sister had a tumor in a ovary and she was 8 months pregnant.. they cut her from the belly button to remove it.. don't stress it your going to be ok good luck!!
