Treatment review for dacryocystitis, which was thought to be a stye

I usually get styes often, so I thought it was just a simple sty at this time.
As it turned out, it wasn't a stye, but cystitis.
Dacryocystitis is inflammation of the tear sac, the lacrimal sac. This inflammation is often caused by a blocked tear duct. This is a review of a patient who underwent treatment for dacryocystitis due to swelling in the eye, similar to a stye.
The location of the lacrimal sac is in the lacrimal gland.
So inflammation also occurs near the tear gland, and when inflammation occurs, the tear gland swells like this.
Doesn't it really look like a sty?
Of course I thought it was a sty.
It didn't get this swollen overnight. It started on Sunday and got bigger as I waited until Monday.
On Monday, I went to the ophthalmologist to get treatment for a stye, which was actually dacryocystitis. The doctor looked at it carefully under a microscope and said it wasn't a stye, but dacryocystitis.
That ophthalmologist was the one I had been going to before, and I had been treated for epiphora before.
Epiphora is an eye disease in which the tear ducts become blocked, preventing tears from draining to the lacrimal glands and instead causing them to pool inside or flow outward from the mucous membrane. Severe epiphora can even lead to inflammation of the lacrimal glands, leading to dacryocystitis!
I have also left a review about treatment for tearing.
First of all, the doctor said that the treatment for cystitis is drainage (cutting it out).
At the time, they said they couldn't cut it right away because the pus wasn't thick enough to be cut. They said that if I cut it now, it could damage my tear duct, so they told me to come back in three days. That day, they only prescribed three days' worth of antibiotics and eye drops, so I came back.
But the next day, the inflammation got worse, my eyelids were really swollen, and my eyes hurt so much, like I'd been hit in the eye, so I just went back to the ophthalmologist.
Luckily(?) this time, they applied anesthetic cream and I was able to get it done... but the anesthetic cream didn't work and it really hurt a lot.
When draining the abscess, I could feel pus coming out and a lot of pus came out.
After I finished treating my cystitis, I got a shot in my buttocks for the first time in a year.
And I had cystitis treatment in the morning, but it was so bad that I was very swollen until lunch that day, and it went down a bit in the afternoon.
The ophthalmologist told me to come back for final treatment once the swelling went down, but it took a few days for the swelling to go down.
I took eye drops 4 times a day, eye ointment 2 times, and antibiotics 2 times a day, and applied a warm towel to my eyes every evening, and the swelling gradually went down.
I felt it when I had conjunctivitis, but eye diseases don't get better quickly.
And on the sixth day, it sank!
I was wondering if a scar would form as the inflammation subsided.
Fortunately, it healed well without any scars.
I visited the ophthalmologist again to finish the treatment for dacryocystitis, and the ophthalmologist said that the treatment for dacryocystitis must start with addressing the root cause, which is tearing.
Then, since the tear duct was blocked, I recommended a silicone implant surgery to act as a drain.
First of all, I didn't have surgery right away. I received a referral from another hospital and the treatment for dacryocystitis ended with them piercing the tear duct with a needle instead of surgery.
To be exact, dry eye -> the eyes are dry, so tears do not flow out smoothly and accumulate in the eyes or flow out unrelated to emotions -> dacryocystitis
This is how it turned out. It's really complicated.
I almost had dacryocystitis and surgery because of the constant flow of tears. But I finally got through it!

눈물흘림증이 여러번 고생하게 만드셨네요. 주기적인 안과 검진 받으셔야겠아요~

눈물 흘림증 정말 중요한 부분인 것 같아요. 이렇게 그 부분이 막히게 되면 시술도 필요하고 여러 가지 과정으로 인해서 많이 힘들었을 것 같아요. 특히 눈 주변이라는 것에 가만하면 더 주의해야 하는 질병이 아닐까 이런 생각이 듭니다. 다행이네요

누낭염 처음 접했는데 치료과정 공유해주시니 공부가 되네요 처음 사진보니 다라끼구나 싶었는데 일반인은 구분이 어렵네요 이럴 경우 안과 방문이 필수겠어요 치료 잘 받으셔서 다행이에요

누낭염이라는 것도 있군요. 덕분에 알고 갑니다.

처음에는 다래끼인 줄 알았다가 누낭염이라는 걸 알게 되셨군요. 눈물주머니에 염증이 생기면 눈이 부어 불편할 텐데, 원인을 알고 치료받으니 마음이 놓이셨겠어요. 앞으로 증상 관리 잘 하셔서 눈 건강 잘 지키시길 바랄게요!
