Does a spleen cyst cause left abdominal pain?

Patient's question:

I am 35 years old this year. Recently, I have been experiencing left abdominal pain for the past two days. I went for a thorough examination, and the doctor said I have a splenic cyst. Therefore, I would like to ask a few questions: can a splenic cyst cause left abdominal pain?

Doctor's answer:

When the cyst is large, surgery or interventional treatment can be decided. Both methods are good. I don't know the size of your spleen cyst. If the cyst hasn't enhanced for many years, there is no need for treatment. If the small spleen cyst has no symptoms, follow-up care is not needed for the time being. At the same time, it is important to rest more and prevent excessive fatigue. The spleen cyst is prone to rupture when it expands to a certain extent, and surgical treatment should be performed.
