Patient's question:
Earlier, my father had kidney problems, and when I took him for a thorough examination, they discovered a kidney cyst. Is this kidney cyst serious?Doctor's answer:
Kidney cysts are a relatively common type of benign inflammatory condition affecting the kidneys in clinical diagnosis. A small portion is caused by congenital reasons, while the rest are due to acquired inflammation and trauma. If the cyst is small, no special treatment is required, and imaging tests can be performed every six months. If symptoms of urinary control reappear, consider puncturing and draining the cyst with an anesthetic.
