Hello, i started on the Visalus Shake several weeks ago to get more vitamins and shortly, thereafter, developed what i believe to be a mucus cyst in my mouth. It fills up with fluid and then it pops and this pattern has continued for weeks. It only, recently, dawned on me that it all started when i started up with these daily shakes. Any possible connection between the two...(Im 51, 57, 125 pounds, not on any meds) thanks...
Hi dear, The mucus cyst can occur due to various reason like biting, accidental rupture of salivary gland, adjacent teeth causing chronic damage or cheek biting. It has no connection with shakes. Treatment is based upon the severity of the mucous cyst. Sometimes cysts may not require treatment and will heal on their own over time. Superficial cysts heal in very short times. But there are other treatment options available for severe cysts like laser therapy, cryotherapy and intraluminal corticosteroid injection. So I would suggest you to consult oral surgeon for proper treatment. Doctor may use a scalpel or laser to remove the salivary gland. Local anesthesia numbs the pain. Marsupialization is also one of the treatment option. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
