Patient's question:
I am 38 years old and recently 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 was liver disease. They advised me to get injections. I have a liver cyst that is about 10 centimeters. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello! If it's a small liver cyst, it generally will not affect liver function, so surgery is not necessary. Regular follow-up with ultrasound is sufficient. However, your liver cyst is too large, already measuring over ten centimeters, which may cause recurrent pain or discomfort in the liver area and potentially affect liver function. Therefore, for such a large liver cyst, surgical treatment is the best option.
