What are the options and costs involved to definitively detect ovarian cysts? (photo)
There are a lot of women with cysts in their ovaries in which they are not aware of as they remain asymptomatic. These ovarian cysts are usually detected when women come forward for their routine gynaecology check-up or when they have symptoms like pelvic pain or abnormal vaginal bleeding. The best and cheapest way to diagnose them is via a pelvic ultrasound scan. The other but more expensive ways include MRI or CT scans. Their appearance on these scans can help us differentiate as to whether these ovarian cysts are likely to be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous).
What is the best treatment for a ganglion cyst?
A ganglion cyst is a swelling comprising of a sac (covering) which is filled with a clear, gel-like fluid called synovial fluid. Synovial fluid is found in joints and within tendon sheaths. The synovial fluid functions to bathe and nourish the surrounding tissue as well as a lubricant. A ganglion cyst is formed due to a small rent made in the joint capsule or tendon sheath which then allows synovial fluid to leak out. This small rent may be caused by an injury or due to degeneration (wear and tear). When this happens, the body usually attempts to heal itself by sealing the rent.
