Patient's question:
My colleague has a left kidney cyst and is worried every day. I want to help him. How is a left kidney cyst treated?Doctor's answer:
Kidney cyst is a common disease of the kidneys. The pathogenesis of this disease has not yet been definitively concluded, but most scholars believe it is related to renal glomerular diverticula. A simple kidney cyst does not have obvious symptoms and only requires careful observation. If the cyst gradually decreases and reappears to control the ureter, leading to renal hydronephrosis, affecting renal function, or the cyst diameter is greater than 5 cm, treatment is needed. Based on the patient's condition, it is recommended to go to the hospital for relevant examinations, such as urological MRI, and the treatment plan should be confirmed according to the examination results.
