Can massage help relieve kidney cysts?

Patient's question:

Recently, my appetite has been poor, and I've also been experiencing some swelling in my body. I feel completely exhausted. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was kidney disease. Can kidney cyst massage help alleviate it?

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, the probability of self-healing through massage is relatively low. However, small kidney cysts usually do not significantly affect health and do not require special treatment. Regular follow-up kidney ultrasound check-ups are sufficient. If the cyst size is larger, it may need to be resolved through surgery. This should be done according to the specific size and clinical diagnosis, following the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment.
