I have 6 cysts on my liver and a mass where the blood vessels are grouped together ... Lately it geeks like my rib cage is pushing on my liver.. Cant sit without having to lean back.. Cant sleep on that side at all.. If I eat to much it hurts.. Should I worry?
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for the query. Liver cysts may be caused by several factors but most common this is just simple liver cysts, and it requires no treatment in majority of cases. It should be treated if it becomes large enough or if it is symptomatic. In your case these symptoms may indicate that this is symptomatic cyst, and then it should be surgically treated. In most centers it can be done laparoscopically today. Also cysts may be caused by parasites, or it can be malignant a din both these cases' surgery is the only option. Wish you good health. Regards
