Which cysts need sclerotherapy? Generally speaking, cysts over 5cm or more or cysts in special locations may cause some symptoms or affect aesthetics due to pressure, and there are also areas where cysts have a tendency to become malignant, such as pancreatic cysts and ovarian cysts, which need to be ruled out as malignant or malignant, and then alcohol sclerotherapy is needed. Is sclerotherapy easy to relapse? No, it is not easy to relapse. Anhydrous alcohol treatment for cysts is to flush the cystic fluid by repeatedly injecting anhydrous alcohol after it is drawn out, so that it can fully contact with the cystic wall and protein reaction occurs, and flush until colorless and transparent fluid is drawn out. The high concentration of anhydrous alcohol can cause the destruction of the cystic wall, the cystic cavity adhesion closure, and the cystic wall can no longer secrete cystic fluid, thus achieving the effect of cyst treatment. Therefore, the chance of recurrence is very small, and even if it recurs, it can be sclerotherapy again. 1.What is the difference between cyst and nodule? The contents of cysts are cystic fluid, which can occur on the surface of the skin and internal organs, mostly in the liver and kidneys, and are benign diseases that do not belong to tumors, so they do not become malignant. If they occur on the body surface, cysts are soft to the touch. Nodules is a general term that includes cystic nodules and solid nodules. Cysts are generally cystic nodules, while solid nodules are widespread, hard in texture, and can occur in many parts of the body, such as the thyroid, liver, and kidneys. There are benign and malignant nodules. 2.Will chocolate cysts become malignant? Although chocolate cysts are benign growths, but if the disease is not controlled, there is a possibility of malignant transformation, but the probability is very low, in fact, compared to the disease itself, the harm caused by malignant transformation is more terrible, do not think that conservative treatment is the best, which is not effective in preventing the occurrence of malignant transformation of the disease. It is important to keep an eye on the changes of the disease and to pay attention to and control the development of the disease is the fundamental way to avoid the occurrence of more serious harm. In which case do chocolate cysts need to be treated? Can chocolate cysts be treated with observation or medication? The answer is yes, for patients with cysts less than 5 cm, they can be monitored regularly and treated conservatively. If the cyst increases again, it needs to be treated actively. Cysts larger than 5 cm that are not treated in time may be prone to torsion, rupture, infection or cancer. For small cysts but severe dysmenorrhea, treatment can also be seen. 3.Does chocolate cysts affect pregnancy? Chocolate cyst itself affects pregnancy because its attack is mainly caused by the normal endometrium straying outside the uterus (ovary) and gradually wrapping up to form a cyst, which can cause many symptoms, dysmenorrhea, irregular menstruation, excessive menstruation, infertility, etc. The causes of infertility are: chocolate cyst can destroy normal ovarian tissues and cause abnormal ovarian function, leading to ovulation disorders and poor corpus luteum formation. It causes pelvic adhesions, tubal obstruction, or restricted peristalsis of the fallopian tubes, which affects sperm-egg union. This part of patients need surgical treatment before pregnancy is possible. 4.What are the advantages of ultrasound-guided chocolate cyst treatment? Ultrasound-guided chocolate cyst sclerotherapy is minimally invasive, with only one needle eye, which is almost as traumatic as drawing blood, and can be done to go home, safe, the whole treatment process is carried out under ultrasound surveillance, ultrasound is just like human eyes, but with higher resolution, so it can ensure safety. Thorough, after the cystic fluid is extracted, it is repeatedly flushed to expose the cystic wall and then injected with drugs, which work to destroy the cystic wall so that the fluid will not be secreted again and at the same time cause the cystic wall to adhere so that there is no room for the cyst to survive the next menstruation. It is not easy to recur, because the sclerosing agent rolls in the cyst cavity, so it will not leave a dead-end contact so the cyst wall, even the cells carried on the puncture needle will be killed by the sclerosing agent, so that, because only a needle eye, also blocked by the puncture needle, so the cyst fluid will not leak, and will not be planted to the pelvis, and when pulling the puncture needle, it will not bring out the active cells. 5.Does the liver cyst disappear by itself? Will they become malignant? In general, liver cysts do not disappear on their own and do not become malignant. Liver cysts are usually congenital and gradually increase with age, if not treated, they usually do not disappear on their own. We can imagine the cyst as a blister, first puncture the needle into the blister, draw out the water, and then play in the drug flushing, to destroy the wall of the blister and not let it continue to secrete fluid, the treatment usually ends in half an hour, and the trauma is basically similar to the blood draw.
