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. Do kidney cysts hurt?Doctor's answer:
The vast majority of patients with renal cysts will never experience local pain again, especially those with smaller cysts, who have a lower likelihood of experiencing pain recurrence. However, if the renal cyst is large and causes significant local compression, it is not ruled out that pain may recur. In such cases, it is necessary to promptly visit the urology department of a hospital for diagnosis.
