What is the treatment for nasal cysts?

Many people think that problems with the nose are minor and do not take them seriously. People with rhinitis often do not see a doctor or just take medicine casually. This attitude is very wrong, because rhinitis is not a trivial matter. If you delay diagnosis and treatment, it will gradually become more serious and may eventually lead to cancer. So what are the treatments for nasal cysts? Let me introduce it to you today.

The main cause of sinus cysts is chronic sinusitis. When surgery is required, it is still the main treatment. If surgical treatment is not required, chronic sinusitis should be treated with traditional Chinese medicine. Or even if surgical treatment has been performed, traditional Chinese medicine treatment should still be carried out (surgery can solve major problems, but it is difficult to solve all problems) to completely eliminate the lesions of chronic sinusitis or prevent or reduce the recurrence of inflammation.

Sinus cyst refers to cyst occurring in the sinuses, which can be divided into sinus mucocele, sinus serous cyst and dentigerous cyst. Sinus mucocele Sinus mucocele often occurs in the ethmoid sinus and frontal sinus. It is mostly caused by the blockage of the natural opening of the sinus and the retention of secretions in the sinus. There are also cases where the sinus opening is open. It is caused by a series of biochemical and immune reactions due to the excessive protein content in the sinus mucosal secretions.

The cyst develops slowly and may be asymptomatic in the early stages. Once the sinus bone wall is destroyed, its development speed accelerates and may invade the adjacent organs of the sinus, such as the nasal cavity, eye sockets, and skull, and corresponding clinical symptoms will appear.

1. Invasion of the eye sockets, causing proptosis, displacement of the eyeballs, diplopia, epiphora, and visual impairment.

2. When the cyst grows to a certain size, it causes local facial deformation. The skin color of the local raised part is normal and it feels hard to the touch, as if the bone has been absorbed and thinned, and it feels like a ping-pong ball when pressed. If infected, the skin at the raised area will become red, swollen and tender.

3. Headache and dizziness.

4. In case of ethmoid sinus cyst, the middle nasal meatus bulges, and the middle turbinate or ethmoid bulla is compressed and displaced; in case of frontal sinus cyst, the top of the nasal cavity bulges; in case of superior sinus cyst, the outer wall of the nasal cavity moves inward. If the cyst ruptures on its own, a large amount of mucus will be discharged from the nose intermittently.

5. Puncture the raised area and draw out mucus to confirm the diagnosis. 6. X-rays and CT scans are extremely important for the diagnosis and location of cysts.

Ethmoid and frontal sinus cysts should be differentiated from endodermoid cysts and tumors of the lacrimal sac, orbit, and nasal root. Maxillary sinus cysts should be differentiated from maxillary sinus malignant tumors and odontogenic cysts. Sphenoid sinus cysts should be differentiated from pituitary tumors, meningiomas, gliomas, etc.

Once diagnosed, surgical resection should be performed as soon as possible to enlarge the passage and facilitate sinus drainage. Sinus serous cyst Sinus serous cyst refers to the retention of secretions from the mucosal glands of the maxillary sinus cavity in the alveoli to form serous or mucous cystic changes with extremely thin cyst walls. It often occurs in the maxillary sinus.

Through the above introduction, I believe everyone has a general understanding of the treatment methods of nasal cysts. However, we still need to remind everyone that rhinitis is not a small problem. If you find any problems, you should go to a regular hospital for treatment in time. Take the correct medication under the guidance of your doctor. Don't miss the opportunity to heal.
