Patient's question:
Recently, my appetite has been poor, and I've also noticed some swelling in my body. I feel completely exhausted. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it's kidney disease. Is a left kidney cyst serious for a woman?Doctor's answer:
Kidney cysts are usually detected during health check-ups because they are often difficult to notice without other accompanying diseases. Kidney cysts are a type of benign inflammation of the kidneys and generally do not cause symptoms. In severe cases, they may lead to back pain, lower back discomfort, or even abnormal kidney function. Treatment involves careful monitoring and periodic follow-up tests. As long as the cyst does not shrink or change in nature, it can persist for a lifetime. Increasing regular exercise to enhance the patient's immunity and prevent recurrence of the condition is recommended.
