Embryonic cyst of fallopian tube: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment
An embryonic cyst of the fallopian tube, also known as a paratubal cyst, is a rare type of cyst that develops near the fallopian tube. This type of cyst is usually benign and does not cause any symptoms. However, in some cases, it can lead to pain and discomfort, and may require treatment.
Causes
The exact cause of embryonic cysts of the fallopian tube is not known. However, it is believed that they develop from the remnants of the embryonic tissue that forms the fallopian tubes during fetal development.
Symptoms
Most embryonic cysts of the fallopian tube do not cause any symptoms. However, if the cyst grows large enough, it can cause pain and discomfort in the lower abdomen. Other symptoms may include bloating, irregular periods, and pain during intercourse.
Treatment
If the cyst is small and not causing any symptoms, it may not require any treatment. However, if the cyst is causing pain or discomfort, or if it is growing larger, it may need to be removed surgically. The surgery is usually done laparoscopically, which is a minimally invasive procedure that involves making small incisions in the abdomen.
