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. Could you please tell me what are the treatment methods for polycystic kidney disease?Doctor's answer:
In the case of polycystic kidney disease, the main treatment is surgical intervention. It is recommended to consult the urology department of the hospital for diagnosis. An ultrasound or CT scan of the kidneys should be performed to determine the size and number of cysts. Based on the results of the examination, the decision can be made between conservative treatment and surgical intervention. Generally, surgical treatment is the primary approach. Minimally invasive surgery causes minimal damage to the kidneys. It is important to follow the doctor's advice, undergo regular check-ups, and monitor kidney function and cyst size for any changes. Cysts are usually benign and inflammatory. If there are no abnormalities in kidney function, there is no need to be overly concerned.
