A cyst

A cyst is a pathological formation, which is a cavity filled with fluid. Cysts can form in various organs and tissues of the human body; their sizes can vary from a few millimeters to several centimeters.

Symptoms of a cyst may vary depending on its location and size. In most cases, cysts do not cause any symptoms and are discovered incidentally during a medical examination. However, if the cyst grows large or is located in certain locations, it can cause pressure on surrounding tissues and organs, which can lead to pain and discomfort.

The reasons for the formation of cysts can be different. Some cysts form due to problems with embryonic development, while others may result from injury, infection, or inflammation. Some cysts can be hereditary.

Various methods such as ultrasound, computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging can be used to diagnose a cyst. Treatment of cysts depends on their size, location and possible complications. In most cases, cysts do not require treatment and can simply be observed, but in some cases surgery may be required.

In general, cysts are quite common and in most cases do not pose a threat to human health. However, if you suspect you have a cyst, you should see a doctor for diagnosis and to determine the need for treatment.
