Unable To Empty Bladder Fully, Frequent Urination. Ultrasound Scan Shows Cysts In Kidneys. Treatment?
I am 65 years of age. I feel that I am unable to void urine fully and so am compelled to frequent urination . Urination is better while sitting. Ultrasound findings are mild prostatomegaly, 33 x 41 x 39 mm with a volume of 28.9 cc. PSA is ok. There is one cyst on each kidney , until ocular cortical cyst 14 mm in rt kidney and unilocular parapelvic cyst 44x46 mm in left kidney. Please advise on treatment.

Hi
Thanks for the query.
The problems while passing urine could well be due to the enlarged prostate. See a urologist who can prescribe medications like tamsulosin which are helpful in this condition.
The renal cysts are usually benign and need no active treatment. We need to monitor their size by doing a yearly scan.
Hope this helps
Good luck
