What Is The Treatment For The Cysts On The Liver?
I have 6 cysts on my liver and a mass where the blood vessels are grouped together ... Lately it geeks like my rib cage is pushing on my liver.. Can't sit without having to lean back.. Can't sleep on that side at all.. If I eat to much it hurts.. Should I worry?

Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for the query.
Liver cysts may be caused by several factors but most common this is just simple liver cysts and it requires no treatment in majority of cases. It should be treated if it become large enough or if it is symptomatic. in your case these symptoms may indicate that this is symptomatic cyst and then it should be surgically treated. In most centres it can be done laparoscopically today. also cysts may be caused by parasites or it can be malignant an din both these cases surgery is the only option.
. WIsh you good health. Regards
