How is mucous cyst diagnosed?

 First, your doctor or dentist takes necessary images like X-rays, CT scan or MRI imaging. They may even take biopsy of the tissue if unusual symptoms are present. This is to rule out possibilities of tumors such as salivary gland tumor. Then they are able to plan the best and the most effective treatment required for your mucous cyst removal.

Mucous cyst treatment

It may take couple of weeks for most cysts on lip to burst and leave an ulcer that take just some days to heal. You don’t need any treatment for superficial mucous cyst. However, some other mucous cysts are deeper in nature and can persist for longer times, which should be removed. There are no complications and risks in the mucous cyst removal. Your doctor will take the maximum care to decrease the risks of recurring. Even if the cyst appears again later, still removing with surgery is the preferred option.

Depending on the mucous cyst, doctors can treat your cyst through:

Surgical Excision:

it is the best treatment, which doctors remove the cyst entirely to prevent any recurrence. They may need to remove the damaged gland in severe cases.

Laser therapy:

in this procedure, laser beam is used to eliminate the cyst and the damaged tissues

Freezing:

the procedure is called cryotherapy and freezes the affected tissues and cystic lesion.
