Cyst in Liver in Hindi, Symptoms, Treatment, लिवर में गांठ, फोड़ा या सिस्ट होने के लक्षण कारण और इलाज
A liver cyst signifies the presence of a growth within the liver, which can, in certain cases, take on a cancerous form. However, our focus today will be on non-cancerous liver cysts.

A cyst is essentially a spherical cavity containing a liquid substance.


Should an infection manifest within the liver, similar to infections in other organs of the body, it may give rise to a spherical structure or cyst within the liver.

Moreover, these cysts can be of parasitic origin, resulting from amoebic infections, resulting in a peculiar chocolate-colored fluid filling them, or they may be hydatid cysts, another manifestation of parasitic infection. Hydatid cysts can sometimes produce multiple daughter cysts. These cysts, besides affecting the liver, have the potential to spread to various other organs.

Regardless of the type of cyst, common symptoms may manifest, including pain in the upper right area of the abdomen where the liver is located. In the event of an infection, the patient may experience fever. Furthermore, if the cyst happens to rupture, it can lead to severe pain, shock, and a critical medical emergency.

So, what should one do?

If you or someone you know exhibits such symptoms or if a cyst is detected during a scan, the first step is to determine its nature, uncovering the underlying cause. Following this, depending on the cause, as determined through blood tests or additional diagnostic scans such as CT scans, doctors will advise on potential treatment options.

One treatment method involves percutaneous aspiration, which entails the insertion of a needle into the cyst under ultrasound guidance to remove its contents. Some cysts can be effectively treated using this method, although it may not be suitable for all cases. Often, the feasibility of needle insertion may be limited, or it may not be practical for certain cysts.


For most cysts that cannot be aspirated, surgical intervention is now a viable option. A camera can be inserted into the abdomen through small incisions, enabling visualization of the cyst within the liver. Depending on the situation, either the entire cyst can be removed or it can be opened to drain the infected fluid. This procedure generally results in a swift recovery and is applicable to various types of cysts.


It's important to note that simple needle puncture and drainage of these cysts can carry a high risk of complications and recurrence. Therefore, in the case of hydatid cysts, surgical removal with minimally invasive techniques is often the preferred treatment. During the early stages, as much affected liver tissue as possible can be removed.

We trust that this video has provided you with the courage and knowledge you need. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with a liver cyst, please consult with your doctor. They will determine the most suitable minimally invasive approach for treatment, whether it involves needle insertion, drainage, or surgical intervention.

Thank you.
