Hi, generally speaking, kidney cyst with size less than 4cm needs no medical treatment. Your kidney cyst is 3cm and in such a condition, what you need to do is to keep it under examination, which means you need to go hospital to exam it regularly. Kidney cyst needs to be treated in the following several conditions:
1. Kidney cyst presents serious symptoms like back pain, blood urine and so on.
2. Kidney cyst enlarges over time
3. Kidney cyst causes kidney damages.
For small kidney cyst, it has no influences on our life at all if they presents no symptoms and also does not enlarge over time. However, once one of the above conditions occurs, medical treatment is needed.
There are two medical treatments for kidney cyst. If your kidney cyst presents you symptoms, or if it enlarges over time, you can choose one of them to treat your kidney cyst. The followings are the introduction about the two treatments for kidney cyst:
1. Surgery: surgery is the most commonly used method for kidney cyst and it cuts off kidney cyst directly. It shows quick treatment effects, but it is painful and risky. We say it is risky as it causes infection easily.
