Do kidney cysts require treatment?

Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Yang Ziqi
Most kidney cysts are benign and do not cause symptoms or affect kidney function. This condition is usually referred to as simple kidney cysts and is often discovered incidentally during physical examinations, typically requiring no specific treatment.
If a kidney cyst is large and causes pain, infection, or compresses normal kidney tissue, or if it grows rapidly or bleeds, treatment may be necessary.
If you experience any discomfort such as back pain, blood in the urine, or frequent urination, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly.
