Septated Cyst After Draining Out Large Cyst From Liver. Can It Cause More Problems?
Hello, I had a large cyst in my liver drained and they used alcohol to scar it down, but apparently it didn't take, and now I have a septated cyst. Could this give me even more problems, then I already had, meaning pain,stomach, bloating, fullness etc, ?

Dear Friend.
It all depends on the nature of the cyst. If it was a liver abscess , it can be easily treated with antibiotics and drainage if required.
If it is Echinococcus cyst , that can be treated by antibiotics and PAIR therapy.
If it is a tumorous thing , that requires a further evaluation to see for the cause and to see if it malignant.
Sometimes , they are simply benign cysts.
I suppose , if you share with us your ultrasound , liver function test , your Alpha feto protein levels , hemogram , we would be able to guide you better.
