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 a nearby hospital for a check-up and was told it was liver disease. They advised me to get an injection. Is a 10mm liver cyst serious?Doctor's answer:
A liver cyst of 10 millimeters is generally not a problem. If it is larger than 5 centimeters, surgical treatment is recommended. Liver cysts are a type of benign liver disease in men. If there are no obvious symptoms, it can be carefully monitored without special intervention. Regular follow-up examinations are necessary. If the cyst grows significantly and symptoms such as fullness and discomfort in the upper abdomen reappear, surgical removal should be considered. In daily life, a light diet is recommended, and personal hygiene should be paid attention to.
