It is terrible to have cysts on the kidney. Because they keep growing and eventually cause kidney failure. Is there a way to reduce the cysts in PKD?

Conventional treatment to reduce the cysts

Surgery is the conventional treatment to reduce the cysts. One is to insert a long needle to drain the fluid and then inject alcohol to keep additional cysts from forming. Another is laparoscopic surgery. It is to insert a laparoscope to drain the fluid and then burn its outer wall. Both the surgeries can quickly remove the cysts quickly, but they are only aimed at removing the cysts in the surface of the kidney, not all the cysts. Besides, once the big cyst is removed, the smaller ones may become enlarged quickly.

Traditional Chinese Medicine treatment to reduce the cysts

Compared to the surgery, Traditional Chinese Medicine takes effects slowly. But it can reduce all the cysts, no matter the cysts on the surface or the cysts within the kidneys. The active ingredients of Hot Compress Therapy can inhibit the secretion of cystic lining epithelial cells and increase the permeability of cyst wall so that fluid can flow into the blood and then be removed out of body. Medicated Bath and Enema Therapy are also often used with Hot Compress Therapy together. They can help discharge toxins from the body and provide a healthy blood environment so as to improve the ischemia and anoxia in kidneys. Traditional Chinese Medicine does not only shrink cysts to avoid further damage to your kidneys, but also help repair your damaged kidneys to improve kidney function.

If you have PKD, you should try to control these cysts timely, or they will damage all your kidney tissues and even affect your liver and brain. If you have any question about the treatment, please contact our online doctor or leave a message.
