Ultrasound Showed Cyst In Liver. Suggested Monitoring For 6 Months. Immidiate Removal Of Cyst Recommended?
I had a ultra sound and the results were a cyst on my liver. The nurse said it i wanted to have the Dr. to monitor me for 6 months, I asked her shouldn't I have it removed, since growths in the liver are not good. She said she will call me back, she didn't. I will see my primary care Monday. But do you think I am right?

Hi, Thanks for using HCM.
Simple liver cysts generally do not require treatment unless they become large enough to cause pain.
You can go for monitoring to check for any increase in size of cyst.
Hope this answered your question. Consult your doctor for further management.
Wish you good health. Take care.
Regards
