What should I do if I have liver cysts?

Patient's question:

Today, our unit arranged for a health check-up. During the health check, the doctor told me that I have liver cysts. I would like to consult some medical experts about this. What should I do with liver cysts? If there are friends who are familiar with this field, please help me solve this puzzle. Thank you for your response here.

Doctor's answer:

Through a health check, a liver cyst was diagnosed. Is it necessary to treat it? It is necessary to closely monitor for any clinical diagnostic symptoms. If there are no clinical diagnostic symptoms and the liver cyst is no more than 5 centimeters, there is no need to worry. If the liver cyst is larger than 5 centimeters, liver function tests should be conducted. If there is no interference with liver function, treatment can be temporarily avoided. It is necessary to undergo periodic health checks, generally once a year for a liver ultrasound.
