Does Cyst On My Sinus Cause Low WBC Count?

I am a female 53 yr old woman. ,5 6 137 lbs. I have a bilateral maxillary cyst 1.4cc on left side of sinus and 1.2cc on right side of sinus. My white blood cell count is 3.1 could the cyst cause white blood cells to be low? If not what would it mean?

Hi
Thanks for asking
Based on your query and complaints my opinion is
1. A low WBC count in your case is not related to cyst.
2. There are numerous causes of a low count.
3. It can be due to steroid therapy, or certain medications, or bone marrow depression or viral infections.
4. Get a test to repeat counts after two weeks. If persistently low, get a bone marrow examination done.
Hope this helps
Regards
