Cystic Kidney, Pressure Sensation In Rib Cage, Lower Back. What Is The Reason?

I have several common cysts on my left kidney/ On the distal pole, middle and bottom portion. I have been having sensations of pressure under my left rib cage, ribs and lower back. I can't stand it anymore!! Can I get a Urologist to drain these or do they have to have a reason other than it's causing me great discomfort?

How big are the cysts in your kidney? Cysts can be drained if it has been proven to cause your pain/discomfort. Usually renal cysts are asymptomatic unless they are more than 5cm in size.
