Suggest Remedy For Pain When Suffering From Angiomyolipoma

Hélio, my name os Mónica, i have an angiomyolipoma of the left kidney, which was 4.4cm in 2012 and now is 6cm , measured this week. I had a lot of pain last week Thursday evening, around the left rib cage, accompanied by what seemed trapped air. Could this pain be related to my kidney angiomyolipoma? Is this growth acceptable? Should I do something? Can anything be done to stop the growth? Thank you in advance, Mónica

Hello,

The fact that its shape is rising and there is air around it are signs that you should do a surgery to take out it. This is done by a urologist specialist. Please discuss with your doctor. This is not an emergency but it should be done.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Jolanda Nikolla, Pulmonologist
