I just had an MRI for my lower back and the report said there was a 2.7 x 2.4 cortical cyst on my left kidney . I have made an appointment to see my primary care doctor tomorrow but am unsure of what questions I should ask. Needless to say I was not expecting this and from what I have read there is no need to be alarmed. I don t believe I am having any symptoms as my back pain I thought was due to the horrible condition of my lower back. What would be some appropriate questions to ask? Should I get further testing? Should I have the cyst removed so I don t experience any type of kidney damage? Any questions you can as wear would be greatly appreciated.
Cortical cyst of 2.7 x 2.4 does not cause any problem. It is an incidental finding. I have seen these type of cysts in very large number of patients without any problem. Your backache may be due to muscle skeletal pain. Please take skeletal muscle relaxant and B complex with antioxidant tablet. Everything will be alright. No further tests are neededNothing to worrying you good healthRegards
