Any Suggestion For Having Small Cysts On Kidneys?

My Dr has me very worried, mild pain in right side, now somewhat better. Had Abdominal and pelvic US. All organs "OK", small cysts on kidney, ovaries, uterus "OK" but fluid in cul de sac. I am 60 yrs old, and she wants me to have a CT scan w/contrast. What should I be worried about, if anything?

Hi, welcome to HCM.
Looking to ur history, small cyst in the kidney is not a concern.
It can happen as process of aging.
CT scan will identify the nature of cyst whther it is simple or complicated - that sometime sonography can not define it correctly.
Most of time, it is simple cyst and that require no specific treatment.
So, don't get worried. Do CT scan as advised.
Do basic urine report and S. creatinine before CT scan.
I think this would be helpful to u.
Thanking u.
