Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
An MRI showed a spot on my kidney a couple years ago so the Dr. did an ablation process. Now, 18 months later, it s back & a little larger (almost 3.5 cm). The Dr. says it s benign, but wants to remove it. He says I will lose 1/2 my kidney either way if he does surgery or another ablation process. Really?
You have to remove it as surgeon advised. Though it benign have to remove it. For that you require physician fitness. Take immediate action otherwise it may hamper kidney functions.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care.
Regards, Dr Shyam Kale Family and general physician.
