I've been having some on-and-off pain in my lower abdomen over the past few months, so I went for an abdomen scan. The results showed an anechoic cortical cyst in the upper pole of my right kidney, but no renal calculi or signs of hydronephrosis or hydroureter. Should I be worried about this cyst? I'm not sure what it means for my health, and I'd appreciate any advice you can give.

I've been experiencing a burning sensation when I pee and I've also noticed semen leakage during urination. I already had my urine tested, but the results came back normal. I'm wondering what might be causing these symptoms and what I should do next. Could it be something serious?

Burning sensation in urine and semen leakage while urinating can be indicative of a urinary tract infection or a sexually transmitted infection. Since your urine test did not show any abnormalities, I would recommend taking a course of antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin 500mg twice daily for 7-10 days to treat a possible infection. Additionally, you can take an anti-inflammatory medication like Ibuprofen 400mg three times a day to help with the burning sensation. Make sure to drink plenty of water to help flush out any infection. If symptoms persist, further evaluation may be needed.
