Cysts are abnormal growths occur in any part of the body. These abnormal
growths are usually characterized by an enclosed sac filled with fluids.
The cysts that are associated with malignant tumors or infections may develop
into cancer. It is advisable to remove cysts immediately even if no pain
is felt by the person. There is a common but mistaken notion that cysts
can disappear by themselves. Perhaps this happens in some cases but this
"passive" way of treatment is not the normal way to treat cysts. There are
some known causes of cysts such as those that are caused by infections, chronic
inflammatory conditions or genetic conditions. Most cysts however arise for
no known apparent cause.
The symptoms of cyst usually include abnormal lumps in the body. Cysts on the
skin are normally noticeable. In many cases of acute breast cancer, many women
have noticed lumps on their breast. The cysts that appear on internal organs
may not produce any symptoms at all. They are sometimes discovered
accidentally when the person is subjected to medical imaging, such as when
someone goes for a general check up or X-ray.
Most cysts are benign (i.e. mild or painless) but some may produce symptoms
due to their size or location in the body. Cysts that come in contact with
nerves may cause pain.
An individual who notices an abnormal growth or lump in the body should
immediately seek medical attention.
The prevention of cysts, as well as the prevention of inflammation of some
parts of the body, can be helped with vitamin C combined with with herbal
substances called bioflavonoids.
Many cysts in women occur on the ovary and the best way to prevent cysts on the

much useful in maintaining a fully healthy and full and functioning ovarian
lining, decreasing the possibility of the formation of cysts.
