Patient's question:
I have a friend who suffers from a kidney cyst. The doctor said he needs to have surgery, but my friend doesn't want to. He wants to understand the conservative treatment methods for kidney cysts?Doctor's answer:
If a kidney cyst reappears and the cyst becomes large again, leading to vascular compression causing inconvenience or urinary tract obstruction, it may affect kidney function. When the cyst is smaller than 5 cm, additional treatment should be implemented, including cyst fluid aspiration, intracystic anesthesia with, or surgical treatment. If conservative treatment with medication is used, it is not very effective. It is recommended that patients follow the advice and guidance of their local doctor.
