I've just found out I have a 1.5 cm right renal simple upper polar cortical cyst. There's no hydronephrosis or calculus, but there's minimal free fluid in the pelvis. I'm really worried about what kind of treatment I might need and how quickly this can be resolved. Can you help me understand what steps I should take next?
Treatment for a simple kidney cyst depends on whether it's causing symptoms or blocking urine or blood flow: No symptoms: A doctor may monitor the cyst periodically. Symptoms: A health care provider may recommend treatment, such as: Sclerotherapy: A long needle is used to puncture the cyst under ultrasound guidance, then the cyst is drained and filled with a solution to harden it. This procedure is usually done on an outpatient basis with local anesthesia. Laparoscopy: A surgeon uses a laparoscope, a tube with a small video camera, to locate the cyst. The cyst is drained, then removed or burned. This procedure is performed in a hospital with general anesthesia and may require a one or two day stay.

I've had a grade 3 varicocele on my left side for about a year now. Do I really need surgery for this or can I just live with it? I'm not married yet what could happen if I leave it untreated? Is this something that could become life-threatening?
A Grade 3 varicocele can be a concern, and while it's not immediately life-threatening, it can potentially affect your fertility if left untreated. While you don't need to rush into surgery right away, a consultation with a doctor is recommended to determine the best course of action for your specific situation.
