Can a kidney cyst be left without surgery?

Patient's question:

Can a kidney cyst be treated without surgery? Because I am worried about the success rate of the surgery, in addition to being concerned about the high cost, I want to take medicine for treatment.

Doctor's answer:

If the size of a kidney cyst is relatively small, it is generally never accompanied by any discomfort symptoms. If the cyst is large, compresses the renal parenchyma, or causes hematuria, surgical treatment is recommended. For small cysts without symptoms, surgery is usually not necessary; regular follow-up is sufficient. In daily life, maintain a light diet, avoid alcohol, and do not overexert yourself.
