Physical examination revealed renal cyst

Cysts can occur in any part of the body. The harm to human health caused by cysts growing in different parts of the body is also different. Nowadays, people's health awareness is getting higher and higher. Many people have the habit of physical examinations. Some people are diagnosed with kidney cysts during the physical examination. Kidney cysts generally need active treatment, and the earlier the treatment, the less harm to health.

What should I do if a kidney cyst is found during a physical examination?

Renal cyst is a cystic structure that contains some fluid. It is generally benign and will not cause serious effects on the body. Cysts may be single or multiple. When they occur multiple times, it is called polycystic kidney disease. Common patients are people over 50 years old, but younger people may also get the disease. Renal cysts are not easy to detect in the early stages. Generally, they are accompanied by symptoms of frequent urination and urgency. Older people have such problems themselves, so many people ignore this phenomenon. Generally, kidney cysts are discovered during physical examinations.

Can kidney cysts become cancerous?

Although most cysts are benign, the possibility of turning into malignancy cannot be ruled out, so you must pay attention. There is a type of cancer called cystic kidney cancer, which has a certain impact on the human body. Since its symptoms are very similar to those of kidney cysts, it is generally not easy to detect. Since its incidence rate is very low, patients with kidney cysts generally do not need to worry too much about the possibility of cancer. Just a little attention will do.

However, as the kidney cyst grows larger, it will compress tissues and nerves, which is very bad for the body. If necessary, timely medication and surgical treatment are required.

What should I do if I have a kidney cyst?

Since renal cysts can occur singly or multiple times, the diagnosis and treatment methods are different. Single renal cysts are generally benign cysts and do not require treatment if there are no abnormalities. If it is polycystic kidney disease, more attention is generally needed, combined with IDE drug treatment, and surgery if necessary.

1. Single renal cyst

The occurrence of kidney cysts is generally benign. Even if it is detected during a physical examination, don't worry too much. If it has no effect on the body, no treatment is required. You can observe regularly and check every six months or a year. If the body's tissues and organs are compressed and pain, water accumulation and other phenomena occur, treatment is required.

2. Polycystic kidney disease

Different treatment measures are required for different situations. Polycystic kidney disease has a certain genetic background and may be combined with polycystic liver disease. If such a phenomenon occurs, you must pay attention and seek timely treatment. Polycystic kidney disease is composed of many small cysts, which may cause certain damage to kidney function. At this time, you must pay attention and take medication when necessary. If not treated in time, renal failure may occur, which is relatively large damage to the body, so you must pay more attention.

If you have a kidney cyst, first of all, don't worry, because it is generally a benign condition. However, you should have regular check-ups, always pay attention to its development trends, and resolve any problems in a timely manner. In fact, you should pay more attention to your physical condition in life. If you experience pain or difficulty urinating, you should receive relevant treatment in a timely manner and undergo surgery if necessary.
