Treatment of Left Renal Cortex Cyst

Left renal cortical cyst is a closed fluid-filled sac that develops on the cortical area of the left kidney. Renal cortex is where the functioning units of the kidneys grow. A growing cortical cyst is a concerned health issue because it can damage the healthy tissues of the kidney.

If you have a small left renal cortex cyst that is not causing you problems, doctors will often suggest to leave it alone. The patients will need regular re-examinations to keep close observation of it. If the cyst is growing rapidly and causing some risks, a further treatment will be needed for the patients.

In case you have a left cortex cyst that has caused kidney damage, or such symptoms as proteinuria, hematuria, high blood pressure and back pains, a treatment should be taken at once. Since if left untreated, the cyst enlarges rapidly to suppress healthy functioning renal cells and cause gradual loss of kidney functions.

For the treatment of cortical kidney cyst, a surgical process to pump cystic liquid and insert hardening agent may be operated. The cystic fluid is hardened and replaced with alcohol. The tissue that makes up the cyst is hardened, however, the recurrence rate is pretty high. In some cases, the patients have cysts that grow in deep of the kidney, making it impossible to do a surgery.

Traditional Chinese herbal medicine is a natural way for treating cortical cysts. Herbal medicines can accelerate blood circulation, soften cystic walls and shrink the cysts naturally. The cysts that are contained with liquid can be reduced when the liquid can enter blood circulation to be filtered out. An external application of herbal medicines doesn’t cause any side effects since the medicines will not stimulate your intestines and directly function on your kidneys. This saves the patients’ sufferings and pains during the treatment, instead, they feel comfortable during the whole treatment process.
