Dear friend,
Thanks for your query. I can appreciate your concerns.
If you don't have any symptoms, such as, burning/blood in urine, no pain in abdomen overlying the kidneys; no increase in frequency of urination, then you just relax.
It is a benign simple cyst, for which no treatment or surgery is required. You are also not likely to have any problems except in rare condition when it ruptures due to blunt injury in which case, there may be some bleeding in urine.
If you have high blood pressure, pl ensure that it is kept under control with drugs (prescribed by your doctor).
HAVE A NICE DAY AND A SPEEDY RECOVERY.
