Patient's question:
My husband has liver cysts, and regarding this condition. What should I do about a 10x9mm liver cyst?Doctor's answer:
The patient has a liver cyst. The liver cyst is primarily considered to be caused by congenital reasons, resulting from abnormal development of bile ducts during embryonic period. It is also not ruled out that it may be caused by mental trauma or inflammation. If the cyst is small and asymptomatic, it may not need to be treated, but regular follow-up is required. However, if the cyst decreases and causes abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting, surgical treatment should be considered. It is important to rest and avoid consuming spicy, irritating, and greasy foods.
