Suggest Treatment For A Large Painful Cyst
Hi, I am having excrutiating pain from a very large cyst. I noticed when I am having pain anymore that I am now getting a bloody jelly like discharge and end up with alot of itchiness for a week or so afterwards. I am sometimes barely able to walk because of the pain. I have not had my cyst assesed for 2 years and am afraid of it rupturing. Help. Should I go to the emergency room? Thanks for your help

hi.
where is the cyst located?
if it is enlarging, symptomatic, interfering with your function and is bothering you, it is best if you consult with a general surgeon for medical and surgical management. your case and management is elective. you need not go to the ER. it can be managed on out-patient clinics. it's not an emergency, but you need to have a sense of urgency with regards to the consultation since it's starting to interfere with your daily function.
hope this helps.
good day!!
