hi, my name is rose and i am 27 years old, on my recent ultrasound it is said in the result that there is 6mm simple appearing cyst within the mid to upper pole of the right kidney, what does it means? is it connected to the pain i am experiencing everyday on the right lower part of my hips or back?
HelloThanks for query . You have pain in lower back on Rt side and have been detected to have a simple cyst of a size of 6 mm in your Rt kidney. These cysts are congenital in origin and benign in nature and most of the time detected accidentally when Ultrasound Scanning is being done as a routine protocol of investigation in some other abdominal problems, It is benign in nature and does not require any treatment. Treatment is advised in a situation when there is sudden increase in size of the cyst, or it gets infected. The pain that you have is definitely due to this cyst but could be due to sprain in para spinal muscles and needs to consult qualified Orthopedic surgeon. Taking painkillers and physiotherapy to back may help to relieve pain. Chat Doctor.
