I've been having back pain for a few months and an ultrasound showed a 10x9mm cortical cyst in my right kidney's lower pole - should I be worried about this? Do I need surgery for something this size or can it be managed without an operation?

Undergo CT scan with contrast to find out if cyst is complex or not . If complex u may require surgery but I‚Äôm not complex nothing to worry. Ultrasound can also specify simple cyst if done by good radiologist
