Patient's question:
Recently, my appetite has been poor, and I've also noticed 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. I was wondering, what should I do if a kidney cyst is painful?Doctor's answer:
If the cyst volume is relatively small, treatment may not be necessary for a kidney cyst. If pain symptoms reappear, surgical treatment can be considered. Medications can generally provide some relief, but if the pain is severe, you can take a sufficient amount of blood-activating drugs under the guidance of a doctor. A kidney cyst may also cause recurrent symptoms such as urinary tract infections and kidney stones, so timely treatment should be administered.
