Do kidney cysts go away on their own?

Kidney cysts usually do not go away on their own.
Kidney cysts are mostly caused by genetic factors. Kidney cysts are usually small and do not show clinical symptoms when they are first found, and many people find cystic changes on the surface of the kidneys when they have a physical examination and do a urological ultrasound or CT examination.
If there are no symptoms and complications, it has little effect on kidney function and surrounding tissues, and generally does not require treatment, and can be reviewed every six months to a year. However, they cannot be eliminated by themselves.
If the diameter of the cyst is large, more than 5cm or produces symptoms of pressure on the surrounding tissues and causes urinary tract obstruction, cystic fluid aspiration and intracapsular injection of sclerosing agent such as anhydrous ethanol are required. If the cyst is huge, with a diameter of more than 10cm, surgical treatment may be required.
Patients with renal cysts are advised to go to regular hospitals for timely consultation and targeted treatment or therapy under the guidance of doctors.
