What Is a Cyst?
A cyst is a closed sac-like structure containing fluid, pus, or semi-solid material. It can appear anywhere on the body, including the skin, scalp, face, neck, back, genital areas, and internal organs. Most cysts are non-cancerous, but they may grow, get infected, or cause significant discomfort.
Common characteristics of cysts:
Round, smooth lump under the skin
Can be small or grow gradually
May be painless or tender
Can produce discharge if infected
Sometimes become reddish or swollen
At Sparsh Hospital, every cyst is evaluated carefully to determine the type, severity, and the most appropriate treatment.
Types of Cysts We Treat at Sparsh Hospital
Our surgical and dermatology departments specialize in diagnosing and treating all kinds of cysts, including:
1. Sebaceous Cysts
These are the most commonly found cysts, typically occurring on the scalp, face, neck, and torso. They result from blocked oil glands.
2. Epidermoid Cysts
Small, slow-growing cysts that appear under the skin due to trapped skin cells.
3. Ganglion Cysts
Fluid-filled lumps that commonly appear near the wrist or joints. They may cause pain or restrict movement.
4. Pilar Cysts
Mostly found on the scalp—firm, smooth, and often hereditary.
5. Breast Cysts
Fluid-filled sacs inside the breast tissue that may cause pain or discomfort.
6. Bartholin’s Cysts
Found near the vaginal opening when Bartholin’s glands become blocked.
7. Pilonidal Cysts
Painful cysts formed near the tailbone due to ingrown hair, often requiring surgical removal.
8. Ovarian Cysts
Fluid-filled sacs that develop within or on the surface of an ovary.
9. Dermoid Cysts
Complex cysts containing hair, skin, or glandular tissue; commonly seen on the face, neck, or ovaries.
Whatever the type, timely treatment prevents complications such as infection, rupture, or scarring.
Why Cyst Removal Is Important
Not all cysts require surgery. However, cyst removal becomes necessary when:
The cyst becomes painful
It grows in size
It gets infected or filled with pus
Causes cosmetic concerns
Interferes with daily movement (e.g., ganglion cyst)
There is suspicion of cancerous changes
Recurrent cysts that keep coming back
At Sparsh Hospital, our surgeons evaluate each case carefully and recommend the best approach for long-term relief.
Symptoms That Indicate You Need Medical Attention
If you experience any of the following, consult our specialists immediately:
Redness, swelling, or warmth around the cyst
Pain or tenderness
Pus or foul-smelling discharge
Rapid increase in size
Bleeding
Fever along with cyst inflammation
Limited movement in affected joints (in case of ganglion cysts)
Timely evaluation helps prevent complications and ensures safe removal.
Diagnosis of Cysts at Sparsh Hospital
We follow a structured approach to diagnosing cysts:
1. Clinical Examination
Doctors examine the lump’s size, texture, mobility, and tenderness.
2. Ultrasound
Helps differentiate cysts from tumors or abscesses.
3. MRI or CT Scan
Recommended for deep or complex cysts.
4. Needle Aspiration
A small sample is taken to confirm the type of cyst.
5. Biopsy (If Needed)
Done only in rare cases where cancer risk needs to be ruled out.
Our precise diagnosis ensures the safest and most effective treatment plan.
