How big a kidney cyst needs to be to require surgery?

A netizen friend told me that when he had a physical examination at work a few days ago, he found a cyst in his right kidney, but there was nothing unusual in his daily life. The doctor also said that as long as he didn’t feel itchy or painful, he could ignore it for now. However, he had to go to the hospital for a check-up. However, some doctors said that it needed to be removed surgically. So, the netizen’s question is, how big a cyst must be before surgery can be performed? Now I will answer this question for you.

Most renal cysts have no symptoms. Physical examination is usually normal, and occasionally a mass can be felt or percussed in the kidney area. If the cyst becomes infected, there may be tenderness in the flank and abdomen. When the cyst is huge, a mass may appear in the waist and abdomen, and some patients may have hematuria, proteinuria, hypertension, decreased renal function, etc.

For small renal cysts (less than 2 cm), no treatment is required if there are no symptoms, but regular check-ups are required to see if the cyst continues to grow. Asymptomatic people should undergo regular urine tests, including urinalysis and urine culture, and renal function tests, including endogenous creatinine clearance, every six months to one year.

Patients with symptoms of renal cysts or cysts larger than 3 cm should be actively treated. Otherwise, long-term compression of the renal parenchyma will cause ischemia and hypoxia of the renal units, hypertension, leakage of large amounts of protein, damage to renal tissue, and changes in renal function. It will eventually develop into kidney failure and uremia, which will seriously affect your life or even endanger your life. How to treat renal cysts? Currently, the best treatment method is traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine external application treatment can strengthen the body, regulate qi and activate blood circulation, and take both the symptoms and the root cause into consideration. Among them, the black plaster "Zengyuan Ginger" is made from authentic precious medicinal materials. Through acupoint application, it has the effects of suppressing cyst fluid, eliminating cysts, benefiting the kidneys, and regulating the mechanism. It can completely cure the stubborn disease of kidney cysts.

The causes of renal cysts can be hereditary or acquired. Currently, the pathogenesis has not been fully understood, so there is no good way to prevent it.

Some people may have one kidney cyst or many, and it may also be inherited. As long as the kidney cyst is less than four or five centimeters, it does not need treatment and can be surgically removed when it grows up. Friends with kidney cysts need to pay attention to their lives, do not eat greasy food, get more rest, do not eat spicy and irritating food, and relax.
