Patient's question:
I used to have kidney stones and treated them with laser lithotripsy, which worked. Recently, I've started experiencing recurring discomfort symptoms. During a magnetic resonance examination, the doctor said I have a kidney cyst. What causes kidney cysts?Doctor's answer:
The causes of kidney cysts are very complex, primarily caused by autoimmune factors, followed by infectious inflammation. Simple kidney cysts originate from renal tubular diverticula and usually do not cause discomfort symptoms, requiring no treatment. Regular follow-up checks are sufficient. Pay attention to preventing colds and avoiding exposure to cold in daily life to prevent the condition from worsening.Individuals with kidney yin deficiency can consume foods such as black sesame seeds, lily bulbs, tofu, duck eggs, and persimmons. Six-ingredient Rehmannia or Zhi Bai Di Huang Wan can be taken for regulation. Avoid excessive fatigue, staying up late, and maintain a positive mindset. Moderate outdoor exercise is highly beneficial.
