What causes a liver cyst to grow?

Patient's question:

Every day I take medication for liver cysts, but the cysts are still getting bigger. Why are the liver cysts getting larger?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, simple liver cysts do not require treatment and only need to be monitored periodically with careful observation. However, if careful observation reveals significant changes in the liver cysts within a short period, intervention may be necessary. Because liver cysts usually do not significantly affect liver function, unless they are congenital polycystic liver disease that severely impacts liver function, or complex liver cysts, these cases require close monitoring.
