Suggest Treatment For The Large Cyst In Kidney
i was diagnosed with a kidney cyst in 2000 and told that it wouldnt grow (it was just under the size of my left kidney. This was monitored for a while and it didnt grow in size. Recently, I have been suffering with pain, nausea and irregular bleeding. I went to my Dr because I thought that I was menapausal and all my bloods came back good. I asked for a scan as I knew that somethiing wasnt right, I could feel movement and I was always constipated.
I had my scan on Wednesday and it showed the kidney cyst as almost treble in size and it had grown 4inches in length. The results were with my GP the next day (rather quick).
I spoke with my GP yesterday and I am now being referred to Urology and it might be that simple drainage is not enough and that I might loose my kidney.
The kidney not be not functioning properly due to the weight of the cyst and it might hav effected my other organs to.
Im scared and I woud like advice. Cheryle

Hello,
Well, kidney cysts are usually benign and most of the times, they're asymptomatic. Of course, completely removing the kidney is a major procedure but most of the times, a simple trial is given before.
Depending on your general conditions and symptoms, the treatment would be done adequately. A cyst so large can be drained using a needle under ultrasound guidance.
You do not have to worry a lot about loosing your kidney. There are already many alternate medical treatment for the symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Gunjan Jain
