Renal cysts cause abdominal pain.

PKD is an inherited kidney disease. With PKD, renal tubule epithelial cells proliferate abnormally so as to form a sac. And then lining cells begin to secrete fluid. With time going, renal cysts become bigger and bigger. The enlarged cysts press on other organs so as to cause pain in your side, back, or upper abdomen. Besides abdominal pain, there are other body malaise, such as back pain, blood urine, enlarged abdomen, etc. And with the progression of renal cysts, those symptoms may become worse and worse. Therefore, renal cysts should be reduced as early as possible.

How to relieve abdominal pain caused by renal cysts?

When you have abdominal pain, do not use painkillers optionally, because some of them have renal toxicity. If the pain is very severe, you had better talk with your doctor first. Besides medications, you can use some physiotherapy to alleviate the pain, such as massage, hot compress therapy, acupuncture and moxibustion.

But the fundamental way is still to reduce the size of renal cysts. If your cysts are simple renal cysts, you can use surgery to quickly remove those cysts, but if those cysts are caused by PKD, surgery is not a good choice for you. Because surgery can only remove several big cysts, the small cysts will grow up quickly without the pressure of big ones. In such case, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is helpful. It can inhibit the abnormal proliferation of renal tubule epithelial cells and the secretion of lining cells so as to stop the growth of renal cysts. It can also increase the permeability of cyst wall and speed up blood circulation so that fluid can be taken away from the cysts. As a result, cysts become small. What is the most important, this therapy helps repair the damaged kidneys and improve kidney function.
