Is Having Cyst On The Upper Pole Of Kidney Dangerous?
I had a CT scan a couple of weeks ago because of pain in my vaginal area. I had already had a pap/pelvic exam and ultrasound of the vagina. Everything was fine with that. I have an appointment with my family doctor on Monday. On my patient records online, my CT scan showed everything fine except that I have a 9mm cyst on the upper pole of my right kidney. I know I will find out about this Monday but am getting a little anxious about this. Is this serious?
