Good Day and thank you for being with Healthcare Magic!

Parapelvic cysts are water filled round structures that appear sporadically. They are though to occur because of blocked ducts in the kidney, Depending on the size, presence of flank pain, or if the cysts causes obstruction. Majority of Parapelvic cysts are asymptomatic and may go away or decrease in size on its own.

If with the presence of the above mentioned symptoms, treatment may involve simple aspiration of the cysts or laparoscopic surgery to remove the cysts. Treatment would depend on the size and the location of the cyst. In terms of diet or medications there is little we can do to prevent its increase in size and it just close follow up with every 3-6 months of utz.
