What is a Lymphocyst?

summary

What is a Lymphocyst? The human body has two sets of circulation, one is blood circulation, the other is lymphatic circulation. A part of gynecological malignant tumor is through lymph node metastasis. Therefore, pelvic lymph nodes need to be removed to determine whether there is lymph node metastasis and cut off the route of metastasis. Like blood, if the blood vessel is broken, it will bleed, then the lymph node is removed, the lymphatic vessel is cut off, and the "lymph fluid" will come out. The exudation rate of lymph is not as fast as that of blood. And while producing, while absorbing. Only when the exudation rate is greater than the absorption rate, it will accumulate and become a cyst. Because pelvic lymph node dissection is bilateral, lymphocysts are also common on both sides

What is a Lymphocyst?

Many patients ask this question. Generally speaking, after the formation of Lymphocyst, the internal pressure will gradually increase with the increase of volume. Some thin patients will feel the mass near the groin or in the lower abdomen. When the pressure is large enough, the patient will feel bloated and generally will not have pain. When the amount of lymph produced is large, it can cause nutrient loss in the body.

Some people have hypoproteinemia. Nutrition needs to be strengthened. In addition, when the lymph is absorbed, some patients will have fever, and the individual's temperature is higher, reaching 39 ℃. At this time, it needs to be differentiated from lymphatic abscess. Generally, there is obvious tenderness at the cyst, blood routine and CRP increase, so it is considered as lymphatic cyst infection or lymphatic abscess. There are a few Lymphocyst is not large, but because the lymphatic reflux was cut off, lymph accumulation in the bilateral legs, causing leg swelling.

Lymphocystis Disease is a kind of chronic dermatoma. There are many vegetable like swellings on the skin, fins and eyeballs of diseased fish. These swellings are scattered or clustered. Cysts were mostly white, light gray, grayish yellow, some with bleeding focus and microscopic red. Cysts may occur on gills, throat, intestinal wall, mesentery, liver, spleen, ovary and other organs except on the surface of fish. In severe cases, cysts may be densely distributed throughout the body.

matters needing attention

If there is no infection, mainly to drug treatment, generally do not need to pump fluid, unless it is really uncomfortable. If accompanied by infection, then need to puncture fluid, and use antibiotics, at the same time continue to use indomethacin suppository. Generally, after treatment, it was significantly reduced or even disappeared 3 months after operation. As for patients with leg swelling, there is no special way, you can use tension socks during the day, and lift the swollen leg after taking off the socks at night. If not treated in this way, lower limb swelling to a certain extent, can not recover.
