Patient: I got renal cortical cyst on my left kidney. It is 1cm diameter. May I know what is the best treatment for this?

Doctor: Renal cortical cyst is one type of renal cyst that appears in the renal cortex. Its incidence will increase as people grow older and greatly affect people’s health. Since renal cortical cyst is located at the outer part and it is usually single. Thus, surgery is operated when the cyst grows larger enough to remove cyst. The surgery include acupuncture and laparscopic decortication. The effect is quick and obvious. However, surgery is not the best treatment for 1 cm renal cortical cyst. Surgery for renal cortical cyst has high recurrent rate. Besides, surgery is not offered for small cyst. That is the reason why most doctors do not give any treatment and just wait for the cysts to grow big enough to be removed by surgery. Under this condition, the best period for treatments has been missed and this also leads to enormous pressure and physiological burdens to the patients.

We should treat renal cortical cyst when it is small and control the illness condition in the early stage and prevent further kidney damage. In this case, herbal medicine is offered. It can treat both small and large cysts. The herbal medicine can accelerate blood circulation, soften cystic walls, reabsorb liquid from the cyst and inhibit secretion of cystic liquid. In this way, kidney cyst can be shrunk gradually and recurrent rate has been greatly lowered.
