Recently, a patient seeks help from our website. He said he was diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease and the size of the biggest cyst is 6.5 * 5.4 cm. Is there any treatment for him to shrink the cysts?

When kidney cysts are small, they do not cause any symptoms. But when the cysts are more than 3 cm, it begins to compress the tissues around and causes kidney function impairment. Your kidney cysts reach 6.5 * 5.4, so you had better shrink it as early as possible.

Common treatment

Sclerotherapy and laparoscopic cyst decortication are the common surgeries to drain the kidney cysts. Sclerotherapy uses a kind of long needle to pierce big cysts and draw out the cystic fluid. And laparoscopic cyst decortication uses laparoscope to drain the cysts. By the treatment, big cysts can be removed quickly. But it can not remove the small cysts. Once the big cysts are removed, the small cysts grow up quickly without the pressure from big cysts. Moreover, the treatment is an invasive operation. If the operator s not skilled, the normal renal tissues can be impaired.

Treatment in our hospital

In our hospital, we often take conservative treatment to treat PKD patients. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is an external Chinese medicine without surgery. When you receive this treatment, you just lie on your back on the herbal bags. The Chinese medicine can restrain the prolification of renal epithelial cells and the secretion of lining epithelial cells. It can also expand blood vessels, speed up blood circulation on cyst walls and improve the permeability of the cysts so that the cystic fluid can be reabsorbed and discharged out with blood circulation. In this way, cysts shrink. Besides, the Chinese medicine is soaked with vinegar, so it can change the internal environment and prevent the growth of new cysts. Though there are still cysts in your kidneys, they will not affect your health and you can live a normal life.
