A small cyst in kidney will not cause any symptoms. Many people will wait for them to become larger and then remove it from the kidney. Is this right? Do small cysts need no treatment?

Generally no treatment is offered for you with a small kidney cyst. The doctor just suggests you take do nothing except waiting. You should take regular test to find the size of the size every three months. If you cyst is not 3 cm enough, you need no treatment. However, in my opinion, I will not choose waiting. Because the small cysts may grow gradually, over time, the cysts may grow bigger enough and cause some serious symptoms. So try to remove it when it is small.

The following are some ways of dealing with kidney cyst.

1. TCM treatment

Cyst less than 3 cm is not enough for surgery, so the small cyst in kidney can only be removed by other methods. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been proven to be effective in treating a small cyst. Chinese herbs will be used both externally and internally, which can help the cyst stop excreting cystic fluid. When the fluids in the cyst are removed, the cyst will be shrunk gradually. In the end, cyst will disappear naturally.

2. diet management

Sodium is an important element in body which helps adjust the balance of fluids. Low sodium intake will avoid the symptoms caused by cysts such as swelling and high blood pressure. High blood pressure is one of the leading causes for kidney damage. You can eat some foods like vegetables, fruits and some grains. If you have no symptoms of edema, you can take water as much as you can, which can help you remove the cyst wastes.
