Hello
Mostly simple renal cysts are asymptomatic and it is an incidental finding.
It may cause symptoms if there is increase in size or infection inside the cyst.
So,you need recent ultrasound.It is important to know present size of cyst.
CT scan of abdomen can be done for proper assessment.
Proper treatment depend upon findings.If cysts are symptomatic then surgical removal can be considered.
However pain may be due to many other reasons also.Ultrasound can exclude many causes.
Get well soon.
