Answer:
Greetings,
In this text, you will be informed about the following:
- Etiology – what is kidney cyst;
- Types of kidney cyst;
- When you should refer to surgical treatment.
Generally, kidney cyst is simple and non-cancerous and doesn’t cause complications.
Simple kidney cysts aren't the same as the cysts that form with polycystic kidney disease. Albeit, there are several types:
- Solitary cyst;
- Dermoid cyst;
- Multicystosis;
- Polycystic.
In your case, you should refer to surgical treatment if it grows in size and puts pressure on surrounding organs, disrupts renal blood flow and urinary discharge process, as well as causes pain and there’s a risk of rupture.
In order to do so, you can visit our clinic and consult with a surgeon, who will look through the examination results during the visit, objectively assess your condition and provide detailed information about surgical treatment and rehabilitation.
