: At the end of December 1999 due to my ill health I was sent by a Physician to have ultrasounds of my organs and Xrays of my lungs. The Radiologists report stated a small cyst on left kidney. The Physician whom I was seeing at the time said no reason for concern and shrugged it off as being a common thing. I had been having problems with pain in kidney area and urine problems along with a number of other health issues. Very occasionally now I get pain in kidney but am still puzzled as to what the cyst may be. Dealing with the Specialist Physician was most unsatisfactory and I will not revisit him but I would be pleased to hear of others who have had "just a common (don't worry) type of cyst" on their kidney.
: Any information via my email address would be appreciated. By the way I am a 56 year old Australian woman.

I also have a cyst on my kidney. Urologist saw it many years ago and compared to new scans for something else, it hasn't changed in size and isn't a problem. I would ask how long before the size should be again checked and if it is expected to enlarge.
