Patient's question:
My lower back often feels painful, sometimes so severe that I cannot move quickly and have to lie in bed to rest. During this time, I had two episodes of hematuria. I went to the hospital for a check-up. After many tests, the doctor said I have a kidney cyst. Hello, is it urgent for women to have kidney cysts?Doctor's answer:
Do not have kidney cysts are the most common structural abnormalities in adult kidneys, which can be unilateral or bilateral, and multiple, with a diameter of about 2 cm. Simple kidney cysts are often asymptomatic and do not interfere with kidney function or surrounding tissues, so they do not require treatment and only need follow-up for 6 months to 1 year. If the cyst diameter is larger than 10 cm, it may cause compression of surrounding tissues and lead to urinary tract obstruction, which may require surgical treatment. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
