Patient's question:
Doctor, my aunt has a kidney cyst. Is this a serious condition? Why do women get kidney cysts?Doctor's answer:
Kidney cysts are caused by congenital diseases, primarily due to the development during early growth, which may lead to the recurrence of smaller issues. In the early stages, the symptoms are not particularly obvious. Kidney cysts can be examined through color Doppler ultrasound of the urinary system during routine health check-ups. After the discovery of kidney cysts, it is possible to assess the size of the kidneys. In cases of smaller cysts, conservative observation treatment can be effective in the early stages. For larger cysts, it is recommended to undergo surgery at an early stage for a definitive cure.
