Can 6 CM Kidney Cyst Cause Back Pain
Simple kidney cyst is commonly not harmful, if it is smaller than 4 cm. 6 cm kidney cyst is quite large, so it may cause some damage to kidney functioning tissues. When nerve within kidneys is pulled, pain in kidney area or back pain occurs easily.
In addition to expansion of kidney cyst, urinary tract infection or kidney cyst rupture may also be the reasons of back pain for kidney cyst patients. When renal cyst grows to certain size, any knock at kidney area may lead kidney cyst to burst. The sac fluid may spread to other organs, especially urinary tract. Then, urinary tract infections and kidney cyst rupture results in back pain directly.
For kidney cyst patient with back pain, they should firstly determine what causes their back pain. If back pain is involved in urinary tract infection, patients are recommended to drink more water or cranberry juice. This can help flush their urinary tract and the whole body. If necessary, some antibiotics may be needed.
If kidney cyst rupture is the underlying cause, patients should control infections and make sac fluid dissolved actively. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is one good helpful remedy, because some Chinese medicines can help improve blood circulation and prompt the reabsorption of sac fluid. When sac fluid is dissolved, patients’ discomfort will disappear spontaneously.
If back pain is due to enlarged kidney cyst and the patient only has one kidney cyst, it doesn’t matter. This is because one simple kidney cyst can be removed directly. In many countries, surgery like aspiration and decortication is more likely to be taken to drain sac fluid or remove this cyst directly. This surgery is more suitable for patients whose kidney cyst is located in the outer part of kidneys. If this cyst is located in the inner part, patients had better take conventional herbal therapy. Herbal medicines can help eliminate sac fluid through blood circulation and inhibit the secretion of sac fluid, so they are also helpful to shrink kidney cysts.
Remember to find out the underlying cause firstly, and then determine what treatment is best for you with doctor’s guidance.
