Can mucous gland cyst heal on its own? How to treat it

If a mucous gland cyst appears in the body, surgical treatment is required, and the disease is prone to recurrence, so post-treatment care must be followed up in place. Mucous gland cysts will not heal on their own, so everyone must take them seriously.

Treatment options

1. Cystectomy is suitable for those whose cysts have no adhesion to the mucosa.

2. Cystectomy is suitable for patients with multiple recurrences or local scars, and those with adhesion of cysts to the mucosa.

3. For those who do not want to undergo surgery, after draining out all the cyst fluid, inject 0.2-0.5 ml of 2% iodine tincture into the cyst cavity and leave it for 2-3 minutes before draining it out to make the cyst fibrosis.

prevention

Mucocele is a benign lesion. The most common cause is salivary duct obstruction and salivary retention due to various reasons. Therefore, the prevention of this disease is mainly to avoid damage and maintain oral hygiene. The treatment of this disease is more effective with surgery. The diseased gland should be removed at the same time during the operation, because the cause of the disease is damage or obstruction of the gland duct. If damaged glands are left behind after the operation, salivary retention and cyst recurrence are inevitable.
