What Cause Cysts Filled With Water?
My son has cysts filled with fluid on his spleen> He had to have them drained again yesterday which he says is very painful. The whole spllen problem is due to trauma to the spleen while taking his black belt test. He is in the marines. My question is what causes these cysts to fill back up?

Hello!
Thank you for the query.
It is unknown why such cysts appear. Trauma can be the reason of it.
However if it is large enough, and recurs after a drainage and causes pain, it should be drained through the surgery. The cysts needs to be open wide (not drained with needle). Pain can indicate that this cyst is an abscess especially if he has also a fever.
Please consult general surgeon with this issue.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
