Brief Answer:
Nothing to be worried about it at all.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have been detected to a solitary renal cyst of a size of 7 mm on Ultrasound Scanning.

Renal Cyst are congenital in origin and prsent from birth .They are usually detected accidently on ultrasound scanning done for some other reason.

These are benign cyst and do noy require any treatment unless it gets infected or suddenly increase in size .

Please do not worry at all.

Thanks and Regards.

You will not get any more cyst at the age of 59.

thank you, yes the internet can terify you but I did get to find you so thats a good one.
I appreciate your answers, my urologist did not really say much just did the CT and US and cystology test as all of this stemmed from a UTI that had blood in urine.

I can rest easier, never did I know that cysts could happen from birth. Thank you and Septation is a scarey word...

Have a good evening,
