what is a pylanital cyst?

I think you mean "pilonidal cyst"...\n\nI have first-hand experience of this: I HAVE ONE TOO!\n\nThis is my experience, yours may differ...\n\nI noticed it about four years ago. It felt like the area slightly to the left of my tailbone was larger than it used to be. I found that if I pressed the area hard with a piece of tissue it would bleed a little and there was some pus present. It hasn't been a huge pain in the a** (sorry!) because under normal circumstances it's not the area I normally sit on. It sometimes flares up and becomes very apparent when I've been in the car a long time, and it's especially noticeable when I recline in a hard bottomed chair in that state. Every few months it will get inflamed much like a blister or a boil. That's when it gets very painful to sit on. This will last for about two days and then it will pop. I might notice some blood on the back of the toilet seat and sometimes I can feel a wet sensation as it soaks into my underwear. Once it pops it will be sore for another day and return to it's hardly noticeable state.\n\nLike I said it's not a huge problem and I considered surgery for a while until I read some first-hand accounts. Apparently the surgery is no problem but the recovery takes weeks and means constant dressing changes to what is essentially a very painful, deep wound. Sitting is especially difficult and if you have to sit a lot then you'll definitely be out of action for a few weeks.\n\nSometimes I rub tea tree oil onto it after a shower. This seems to bring the swelling down for a few days.\n\nOh yeah, forget that crap about cancer. That's just an example of someone b***s***ing for points. Cancer doesn't even come into it.\n\nHere's some more info:\n\nA Pilonidal (Abscess, Cyst, Sinus, Dimple) is an abscess in the natal cleft (more commonly referred to as your butt crack) that tends to become infected and cause intense pain and drainage. Sometimes a Pilonidal contains hair and sometimes they don't. \n\nThe term "Pilonidal" technically means "nest of hairs". This is not always true and there are people who have Pilonidal abscesses that have no hair in them. Many doctors will tell you that all Pilonidals are caused by hair, this has not been proven to be the case.  A Pilonidal cyst is basically an abscess of pus and hair beneath the outer skin - a boil gone very, very bad. Pilonidal abscess are prone to excruciatingly painful infections and they can expand (tunnel) .\n\nThe term "Pilonidal Cyst" is actually incorrect.  99% of all Pilonidals are actually abscesses, not cysts.  Use of the word "cyst" has caused a great deal of misinformation about treatments among doctors and patients alike. Pathologists and surgeons on rare occasions find the sac is lined with epidermis, made up of cells from skin, but only cells from the outer layer of skin. That outer layer, which we call epidermis, contains no follicles. Pathologists find epidermis lines the sac only in rare late cases where epidermis has crept into a long-standing abscess in an attempt to heal it. They never find a sac lined with intact skin and follicles, only an occasional sac lined with epidermis.\n\nWhile the terms Pilonidal Cyst and Pilonidal Sinus are frequently used interchangeably, they are not technically the same thing. A Pilonidal is an abscess; a pocket of pus and infection below the skin. A sinus is a cavity/passageway that links the abscess with your outer skin. Not everyone who has a Pilonidal abscess has a Pilonidal Sinus; the sinus (and there can be more than one) is a small dimple-like hole, usually below the actual abscess, which allows it to drain. \n\nPilonidal abscesses usually occur at the top of the "natal cleft" (aka your crack). Their usual position is slightly to the left side, with sinus openings traditionally right along the midline (middle) of the cleft. Many people have cysts lower in the cleft

Balantidium Coli is a parasite common in both animals and humans.It has two forms,one that lives in the intestin-the trophosoite and the other that lives in the environment-the cyst.Infested humans or animals spread these cysts with their feces contaminating the food or water.So cyst contaminated food and/or water is the way other beings get infested.As for prevention- good hygiene:washing hands,washing the vegetables or fruits or other food,drinking water from safe sourses.One thing worth mentioning is that this parasite is very often found without it harming the host.This means that the person/animal can have balantidioses and not have any clinical signs .Still, if the host suffers from other diseases,gets imunosupressed,suffers from starvation,cold and so on, the parasite multiplies and causes digestive problems.Another thing:humans can get this disease from animals,but animals can get it from humans ,so it is a zoonosis.

Are you sure you are not thinking of a Baker's cyst.  They are the most common type of cyst found behind the knee.  You can read more about them at the links I supplied below:\n\nA Baker's cyst is usually the result of a problem with your knee joint, such as arthritis or a cartilage tear. Both conditions can cause your knee to produce too much fluid, which can lead to a Baker's cyst.\n\nhttp://www.mayoclinic.com/health/bakers-cyst/DS00448\n\nhttp://health.allrefer.com/health/bakers-cyst-info.html\n\nhttp://www.jointhealing.com/pages/knee/bakers_cyst.html

its called a philtrum...\n\nThe philtrum (Greek philtron, "love potion") is the vertical groove in the upper lip, formed where the nasomedial and maxillary processes meet during embryonic development. When these processes fail to fuse fully, a cleft lip (sometimes called a "hare lip") can result. The ancient Greeks used to believe that this benign spot was one of the most erogenous spots on the human body, hence the etymology.\n\nThe lack of a philtrum can be considered a symptom of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome.

Polycystic Kidney Disease, a progressive, genetic disorder of the kidneys, characterized by the presence of multiple cysts in both kidneys. The disease can also damage the liver, pancreas, and sometimes even the heart and brain. The two major forms of PKD are distinguished by their patterns of inheritance.  Check out the Polycystic Kidney Foundation; they have a TON of info and support materials: http://www.pkdcure.org.  Also:  The NIH - \nhttp://kidney.niddk.nih.gov/kudiseases/pubs/polycystic and the Mayo Clinic - http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/polycystic-kidney-disease/DS00245.  Good luck.

They can range from blood filled to green. Yours will probably be a type of strep infection. If these cysts continue to come back especially in the groin,buttock,perianal, armpit, and breast area, talk to your doctor about a disease called Hidradenitis Suppurativa. It is misdiagnosed for years until it has started to develop sinus tracts. There is no known cure, but it's not something that is going to kill you either, but you will be  putting up with cysts the rest of your life. I hope you do not have this disease, but just in case the cysts do keep coming back here are some sites that you can go to and print out and take to your doctor.

It most likely is a harmless cyst if it's been there for that long and hasn't caused any problems.  If it's changed shape or size, though, it may be a cause for concern.  Either way, your doctor should be able to tell you what it is and whether you need to worry about it.  Better to be safe than sorry.

It's called the philtrum.  And it's a normal part of human anatomy.  It is formed in fetal development when the nasomedial and maxillary processes meet - when the developing nose and mouth meet.  Lack of a philtrum is a sign of fetal alcohol syndrome.  Beyond that, it has no actual purpose.  It is an evolutionary side-effect.

Porencephaly is an extremely rare disorder of the central nervous system involving cysts or cavities in a cerebral hemisphere. The cysts or cavities are usually the remnants of destructive lesions, but are sometimes the result of abnormal development. \n\nThe disorder can occur before or after birth. Most infants show symptoms of the disorder shortly after birth. Diagnosis is usually made before age 1. \n\nSigns may include delayed growth and development, spastic paresis (slight or incomplete paralysis), hypotonia (low muscle tone), seizures (often infantile spasms), and macrocephaly (large head) or microcephaly (small head).

I believe you're talking about a cyst. The definition of a cyst in my medical dictionary is: 1.bladder. 2. An abnormal sac containing gas, fluid, or a semisolid material, with a membranous lining.\nNow in plain English: it can be on any part of the body and you can have more that one. Some common types are found in the groin area and are ingrown hairs, men will have them in their beards. They can be at the wrist and due to a problem of repetitive trauma. You could have a cyst anywhere due to infection. There are so many types and so many different reasons for cysts, it would take all day to explain. So I hope that some of this information was helpful to you, AND they DON'T go away on their own, they MUST be treated!
