How to treat kidney cysts

Kidney cyst is a common disease in urology. It is a benign disease of kidney. The cause of the disease is not very clear. Kidney cyst generally has no obvious clinical symptoms. In most cases, it is found in the physical examination of kidney color Doppler ultrasound.

If the diameter of kidney cyst is less than 55cm, there is no obvious clinical, it can be treated without special treatment. Regular observation, color Doppler ultrasound every six months or one year to observe the changes in cyst size.

Renal cyst diameter is greater than 5cm, or accompanied by waist and abdomen hidden swelling, pain and discomfort. Or there is a significant increase in the near future, surgery can be performed.

For patients who are unwilling to operate or cannot tolerate surgery, color Doppler ultrasound guided cyst puncture can also be used to extract liquid, and then injected with sclerosing agent treatment. But the chance of recurrence is more.
