Is there a significant impact from a polycystic kidney puncture procedure?
Disease description:
I often feel physically weak, and my kidney area also hurts. I have undergone a cyst puncture procedure for polycystic kidney disease. Is there a significant impact from the cyst puncture surgery for polycystic kidney disease?

The impact of cyst puncture surgery for polycystic kidney disease varies from person to person and mainly depends on the patient's age, physical condition, and whether complications exist.
1. Risks and complications: Surgical risks include hematoma at the puncture site, urine leakage, infection, intracystic hemorrhage, and renal function impairment. These complications may cause symptoms such as pain, subcutaneous bruising, back pain, fever, and abdominal tenderness. Severe cases may lead to hemorrhagic shock or reduced kidney function.
2. Recovery time: The recovery period after surgery usually ranges from several days to several weeks, depending on individual differences and whether infection or complications occur at the puncture site. Patients without complications recover more quickly, whereas those with infections or bleeding tendencies may require a longer recovery period.
3. Long-term effects: Polycystic kidney disease is a hereditary condition. Puncture surgery itself causes a certain degree of kidney trauma, and long-term renal impairment may lead to chronic kidney failure, which in severe cases may require dialysis or transplantation to sustain life.
