Patient's question:
I am having my company's annual physical this year. The ultrasound shows a kidney cyst. I don't feel any symptoms either. Does a kidney cyst hurt?Doctor's answer:
The vast majority of patients with renal cysts will never experience recurrent local pain symptoms, especially those with smaller cysts, who have a lower likelihood of experiencing pain again. However, for patients with larger renal cysts that cause significant local compression, the possibility of recurrent pain cannot be ruled out. In such cases, it is necessary to promptly seek medical attention at the urology department for diagnosis.
