How to treat liver cyst?

Hepatic cyst is a benign liver disease, which is very common in clinic. The specific treatment is as follows:

1. If there are only a few small cysts, it will not affect the patient's life and liver function, and no treatment is needed. Just check the abdominal B-ultrasound regularly, once a year. Some cysts may grow gradually, and most cysts grow very slowly. Some patients will have symptoms such as epigastric pain, fullness and discomfort when the cyst volume is relatively large, and generally will not affect liver function.

2. When the cyst grows to more than 10cm, there will be obvious symptoms of epigastric pain and fullness, and there is a risk of cyst rupture, which requires treatment, mainly surgical resection of liver cyst;

2. Some patients suffer from hereditary polycystic liver and polycystic kidney, which is a disease caused by genetic abnormality and may affect the function of liver and kidney. Treatment is difficult, and large cysts are usually removed by surgery.

Clinically, most patients are small hepatic cysts and do not need treatment. Regular monitoring is enough.
