How To Treat Painful Peripelvic Kidney Cyst?
Hi,
I just found out that I have a fairly large peripelvic kidney cyst causing distotion of the pelvocaliiceal system. What kind of doctor treats this. I have been experiencing considerable pain. I was told this after having a CT scan by a surgeon and he referred me to a urologist.

Hello,
Large peripelvic renal cyst which is causing pain or symptoms will need either excision or drainage of the cyst which involves a kidney specialist surgeon ie. A urologist.
After studying the CT report and depending on the size and extent of the cyst, the surgeon will take a call on the procedure required.
As you haven't mentioned the detail CT report here, i am having limitation to comment anything.
But a urologist is the person you should be consulting with the report of CT scan.
Kindly revert back if you have any more query.
Thank you
