Cysts: should we be concerned or not?

11 February 20246 January 2024 by Redazione My Special Doctor

When localized swelling appears anywhere on the body, there are those who overlook it, thinking that as it came it will pass, and those who worry even more than they should, going anxious for several days until the outcome of examinations has clarified the nature and causes of the cyst. As always, virtue lies in the middle: when faced with a “strange,” painful or harmless formation, it is always a good idea to see the doctor for an examination and appropriate investigations, but without stressing too much. A cyst that appears within days or a few weeks is usually benign and can be easily removed successfully.

What are the causes of cystitis?

The causes of cystitis (reasons why the bladder becomes inflamed), are many. We will discuss only cystitis from infectious causes and, specifically, bacterial cystitis, the most frequent and the most common since the other forms of cystitis are by the physician easily traced to their causes.

It is important to remember that:

When cystitis recurs over time, it is critical to consult your doctor. Alterations that promote infection should be ruled out.
The bacteria that cause cystitis are normally present in the intestinal flora and come from there to colonize the urinary tract.
the highest frequency of cystitis is observed in women, especially in childbearing age, related to anatomical conformation and behavioral habits.
Cystitis should not be underestimated when it occurs frequently: consult your doctor to prevent complications and kidney involvement.

Ovarian cysts

Ovarian cysts are the neoformations that develop in the ovaries, the two organs where female gametes (oocytes) are contained and mature, located lateral to the uterus and in connection with it through the tubes. Ovarian cyst formation is a very common phenomenon, which often does not even bear a pathological character, being related to the functioning of the ovaries. We speak in this case of functional cysts, which almost always resorb spontaneously. Functional cysts, in most cases do not cause any problems for the woman, even if large, are often painless and disappear when the menstrual cycle arrives. In rare cases they may rupture and cause pain or bleeding complications, requiring prompt treatment, sometimes surgical.
