Does Urinary Residual And Kidney Cyst Curable Naturally?
My mother had a kidney exam and we received following statement:IMPRESSION: Prominent bilateral renal pelves. Small postvoid residual. Left renal cyst.With the above, my mother's doctor says the above condition comes with aging and that the urinary residual needs no treatment. The kidney cyst also does not need treatment.Is my mother's doctor's response true? Will everything just go away naturally with my mother's kidney condition?

Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist,i can understand your anxiety.
Kidney cysts are seen after forty to fifty years age,if they're simple cysts.
Prominent renal pelvis will need evaluation,if there's associated infection.
The renal cyst doesn't need treatment,but it'll not go away naturally.
It's harmless,as long as it's uncomplicated and remains a simple cyst.
Similarly,don't worry about the bilateral renal pelvic prominences.
Wish you well.
