Patient's question:
Recently, my appetite has been poor, and I've been experiencing 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. Can a ruptured kidney cyst heal on its own?Doctor's answer:
A kidney cyst rupture cannot be cured, and there is still a possibility of recurrence because the cyst wall remains and can grow back. Unless the cyst wall is completely removed, it will continue to grow. It is recommended to wait and see for now without taking special measures. You can have irregular follow-up kidney ultrasound check-ups at the hospital. If the cyst is very large and affects kidney function, it is advisable to have surgery as soon as possible for treatment.
