Treatment for cysts is as varied as the types of cysts being treated. Much depends on where it is, and how big it is.
Cysts are as varied as the people who suffer from them. One thing is sure, though: they hurt most of the time. Usually doctors are hesitant to do much besides order some over the counter pain killers. These usually produce good results. In situations where the pain is not well controlled by the over the counter medication he may suggest a prescription pain killer but only for some short term relief.
Cysts typically cause pain as they grow. In other words, the larger they are, the more uncomfortable they can become. In order to reduce this level of inflammation there are various treatments available, and depending on the size of the cyst and its location, some doctors will suggest various ways to simply reduce the swelling, thereby reducing the size and discomfort.
Some health professionals like to try more natural and holistic approaches to cyst treatments and removals. Although there are some cases where relief and size reduction has been successful, most patients with serious pain don't find much relief at all and they are disappointed in the length of time some holistic treatments take in order to see any type of improvement.
Cysts that occur on the head, face or neck do seem to respond a little better to perhaps topical ointments or even newer advances such as laser light treatments. For cysts that are visible, the easiest way to get rid of them is to have the doctor do a needle extraction. The doctor simply inserts a needle into the cyst and draws out the fluid. There's usually no scarring or even healing necessary.
Needle extractions are possible for internal cysts as well. A battery of tests will show the size and location, and the doctors will need to determine the viability of the procedure. Large cysts pose the risk of bursting and causing peritonitis, or worse. - 30428
