Patient's question:
I am 38 years old. Recently, I feel that my liver is very tired. I haven't had much appetite, and at night, I always feel a sharp pain in my stomach. I went to the nearby hospital for a check-up and was told it's a liver disease. They advised me to get an injection. Could you please tell me what a liver cyst is?Doctor's answer:
Generally, liver cyst disease is believed to be a common benign liver disease, which can be divided into parasitic and non-parasitic congenital hereditary liver cyst disease. The majority of causes leading to liver cysts are small intrahepatic bile duct developmental disorders. Liver cysts typically grow very slowly, so patients may not show symptoms for a long time, or even throughout their first half of life. If the patient does not have obvious symptoms or normal liver function, the harm of liver cyst disease does not require special treatment. However, if the symptoms are unbearable or liver function is affected, intervention is necessary.
