Suggest Treatment For A Cyst In The Kidney And Back Pain
My male friend age 57 just found out he has a cyst on his kidney. He already suffers from back pain due to an injury. However he has had stomach pain recently. No blood in urine, no urinary tract infection, no pain while urinating. He is being scheduled for a second scan. Could this still be serious?

Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i share your concern fully.
Simple cysys in the kidneys, are normal after 40 years of age.
If the cysts is complex, it will need further assessment,with CT scan.
As the scan report isn't available, i can't comment on it.
If you send me the scan, i can give you an expert opinion.
You may send the report to me , as a direct question.
