Need Medication For Discomfort And Cyst On The Upper Pole Of The Kidney

I am a 38 year old female of small stature. I went for an ultrasound for abdominal discomfort and a cyst on the upper pole of my left kidney was discovered. It is described as a hypoechoic structure measuring 1.4 x 0.9 x 1.1 cm. Slight irregular walls, a 6mm echogenic focus along its wall with ringdown artifact. There is no hydronephrosis in either kidney". Solid component was identified, but 6 month follow up was recommended. Should I seek a second opinion or wait for the follow up appointment?
