How to judge whether certain kidney cysts are big or not?

Generally speaking, when the size of kidneys is less than 3 cm, it is not necessary for you to worry about it, because they won’ t cause any symptoms. But when it is more than 3 cm, it oppresses the tissues around and causes kidney damage.

Therefore, 4.2 cm kidney cysts is considered large. And it may cause back pain, urinary tract infection, proteinuria, etc. At this time, you should attach importance to it and do physical examination regularly.

What to do with 4.2 cm kidney cyst?

If there is only one 4.2 cm kidney cyst, you can do surgery to drain the cysts. It is to use long needle or laparoscope to pull the fluid out of the cysts.

But if there are many kidney cysts and 4.2 cm kidney cyst is just one of them, surgery is not an ideal way to remove the kidney cysts. Because once the big cyst is removed, the small ones will quickly grow up without the pressure from the big ones. In this case, we often suggest Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. This treatment can inhibit renal tubule epithelial cells from the proliferation so as to stop the growth of cyst. It can also increase the permeability of cyst wall and expand the blood vessels in the cyst wall so that cystic liquid can be reabsorbed and discharged with blood circulation. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can help you shrink all the cysts and protect your kidney function.

4.2 cm kidney cyst should be brought under control, or it will further damage your kidneys. For more information, please contact online doctor.
