.just as a side note I had one on my hand I read an article that said massage it regularly .and after a few weeks it did go away...Go by what your Doctor says should be done .,..
yep i can feel it well no itching or pain on that.doctor confirmed it as a cyst need to b removed i just wanted to confirm it whether is der any home remedies or medicines.
I am so glad to hear the news about your child with the cyst I think you may want to ask your doctor if it can be removed , there are no home remedies for cysts ..that I know of ..is it palpable ..not certain if any meds availble either .I will do some research ..
i wanna ask u another thing i got a sebaceous cyst on my left side abdomen for about 1mm size its quite annoying for me to have nipple size cyst der.Is der any home remedies or medicines available to cure it or do i need medication kindly help me if u know pls.
hey margy hope u remember me my child got fixed with hydronephrosis with a pyeloplast surgery now he is fine he is doing great i'm so glad n happy thanks for ur valuable info
I did see that many are fixed by surgery ..please do let me know it all goes,dear baby ....
hey margy i had took a nuclear scan for my baby it shows that his left kidney is working at 30% intensity,my doctor said that a kidney should function atleast 10% or else it is waste to call for a surgery so v have a hope now that as per d result he can undergo surgery to fix it with after taking d scan i did'nt met my doctor have to go by this saturday i hope next week they'll fix it i'll n she said that there is a centum percent result for this surgery n wid some limitations it has some drawbacks like urinal infection like that so v have to condition monitor d baby for atleast 15 days i'll update you asap regarding this.
I am going to suggest that you put your question onto Med Helps Urology forum ...I have also found some information may be useful and a link www.childrenshospital.org/az/Site1117/mainpageS1117PO.html
The urinary system—the kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra—filters waste from the body and removes it in the form of urine. In hydronephrosis, the outflow of urine is impaired, putting stress on this vital system.
Hydronephrosis isn’t a specific diagnosis. Instead, it’s a finding that shows that urine is overfilling the kidney.
A number of conditions can cause this backup of urine. Identifying the cause of your child’s hydronephrosis will help determine how we will treat it.
The excess urine in your child’s kidney may be caused by a condition that either blocks its flow (obstruction) or allows it to leak backward through the urinary system (reflux).
In many children, the cause is never known.
In more than half of the cases where hydronephrosis shows up on ultrasound, it resolves itself by the time the baby is born or soon after.
In children who have mild or, sometimes, moderate hydronephrosis, kidney function is not harmed.
If surgery is called for, there is a very high success rate.
Regardless of the underlying cause, your doctor will describe your child’s hydronephrosis as being mild, moderate or severe. This is based on how much the kidney is stretched and how much the urinary flow is impaired. Your doctor will also tell you whether it’s unilateral (affecting one kidney) or bilateral (affecting both kidneys). Good luck I hope you get more answers soon ..
