Patient: I was diagnosed with a small kidney cyst in my right kidneys, now it is gotten bigger. The doctor told me that I don’t need to do anything if the cyst cause no symptoms. But recently, I have back pain and frequent urination, which really bother me too much. The doctor said the frequent urination is mainly caused by the UTI. Then can a kidney cyst cause UTI?

Doctor: Kidney cyst is a common kidney disease for people. You said you only have one cyst in right kidney, and the cyst is small. So you don’t need to worry about it since you don’t have any symptoms. But you said the kidney cyst is bigger, and you have back pain and frequent urination. It means the kidney cyst has caused damage to kidneys.

In general, when the kidney cyst is larger than 4 cm, it can oppress the surrounding kidney tissues and cause kidney damage, so you will have the symptoms such as protein in urine, blood in urine, high blood pressure, swelling, back pain, frequent urination, etc. In addition, the big kidney cyst will also get ruptured easily, which will cause further damage to kidneys. When the fluid flow out, it can cause infections to patients, and this can cause urinary tract infection (UTI). So we can know your frequent urination can be caused by the kidney damage and UTI.

If the kidney cyst cause UTI, you may also have the symptoms such as burning feeling during the urination, fever, etc.

In this condition, you need to have effective treatment to shrink the kidney cyst, which can help relive the symptoms and make a good prognosis for you.

In addition, the osmotherapy can also help repair the kidney damage and improve the kidney function.
