Are liver cysts serious?

Liver cyst is mainly a common benign liver disease, which is mainly divided into parasitic, non-parasitic and congenital genetic diseases. It is mainly caused by some common diseases, mainly without the background of hepatitis and cirrhosis. Some congenital liver cysts have no common symptoms, and occasionally combined with infection to produce some serious manifestations of fever and headache.

It will not affect its function and will not develop into liver cancer, so you usually don't need to pay attention to this kind of cyst, just go for regular check-ups. But if it grows too large and the patient feels uncomfortable, he can refuse treatment, so we don't have to have surgery. The doctor can remove the cyst under the guidance of ultrasound.

Liver cysts will neither affect liver function nor develop into liver cancer, so this type of cyst usually does not need to be treated, and only regular check-ups are required. But if it grows really large and makes the patient feel uncomfortable, it can be treated. There is no need for surgery during treatment. Under the guidance of ultrasound, the doctor can insert a thin needle into the cyst, draw out the fluid in the cyst with the thin needle, and then inject pure alcohol to prevent the cyst from growing again. If the cyst grows very large and the patient feels a lot of pain, surgical treatment can be considered to remove the cyst together with the cyst membrane to relieve the patient's pain.

For isolated hepatic cysts, unless complications such as cyst rupture, cyst pedicle torsion or intracystic hemorrhage occur, emergency surgery should be performed. Otherwise, elective surgery should be scheduled based on the size and location of the cyst and the patient's general condition and subjective symptoms. Asymptomatic solitary liver cysts occasionally discovered during physical examinations can be temporarily treated conservatively and regularly observed using ultrasound examinations, and one needs to be vigilant against the occurrence of malignant transformation. It is best to perform surgical treatment for large liver cysts with symptoms, because conservative treatments such as puncture and fluid extraction are generally prone to recurrence and may bring bacterial contamination. Polycystic liver disease should usually be treated non-surgically. Since the lesions involve the entire liver, the disease cannot be cured unless a liver transplant is performed. However, once polycystic liver disease compresses the chest and abdomen due to liver enlargement and affects breathing and circulation, surgery should be considered to relieve pressure.

The above is whether liver cysts are serious. Some surgical treatments can also be used in life. If I say so, health care is very important. If the account can be planted, eat more foods that improve immunity. I will eat anti-cancer foods for it. At the same time, it will not affect its function and will not develop into liver cancer. Therefore, you usually don’t need to pay attention to this type of cyst, just go for regular check-ups.
