Welcome guys πŸ™‹πŸ»πŸ™‹πŸ»πŸ™‹πŸ»
Today I would like to share about my experience as an urachal cyst patient. Keep calm guys thats not a serious disease just an abnormalities which can be treated by a simple operation. No worries. Ok let me give an intro. The urachus is a fibrous cord that arises from the anterior bladder wall and extends cranially to the umbilicus. Urachal cysts are rare anomalies that occur from the urachus.





Most urachal cysts are NOT detected until adulthood (like cases of mine), although they are RARELY in a symptomatic children. A urachal cyst present four anomalies: a patent urachus, a vesicourachal diverticulum, urachal cysts and a urachal sinus.


I suffered from urachal cyst but I have no idea about it until I got an infected. An infected urachal cyst can cause abdominal pain, abdominal tenderness, fever, nausea, vomiting, dysuria, voiding difficulty, N. Gonorrhea urethritis, epididymis and orchitis at presentation. In my case, the infected area cause me pretty painful abdominal pain. I been hospitalised about 5 days. T_T

The treatment of urachal cysts involves primary excision of the cysts. During my 5 days stayed, for early detection the doctor suggested me to do an abdominal ultrasonography. After the results came out she suggested a single-stage excision. Alhamdulillah (Praise to Allah) I experienced no complications πŸ‘πŸ»
