Is a 6 cm liver cyst serious?

Patient's question:

I'd like to ask if a 6 cm liver cyst is serious? What kind of treatment is generally recommended in this case? Can it be cured with medication?

Doctor's answer:

A 6cm liver cyst is also considered relatively large and can easily cause distending or dull pain in the liver area. Liver cysts often have a benign inflammation, most of which are chronic, so the effect of medication is not very good. However, some people take traditional Chinese medicine for anti-inflammatory and blood-activating purposes, which can have a certain therapeutic effect and even alleviate symptoms. A light diet should be maintained, and beer and dry foods should be avoided.
