Can traditional Chinese medicine cure renal cysts

Renal cysts are usually not completely cured by traditional Chinese medicine, but Chinese medicine can help alleviate symptoms and delay the progression of the condition. Renal cysts are mostly benign lesions, which may be related to congenital developmental abnormalities, renal tubular obstruction, and other factors. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment should be based on individual constitution differentiation and treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that renal cysts are mostly caused by the syndrome of deficiency in the root and excess in the target, and the treatment principle of supporting the body and eliminating evil is often adopted. For simple renal cysts with small diameters, traditional Chinese medicine can alleviate symptoms such as lower back swelling and pain by promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, and promoting diuresis. Commonly used formulas such as Guizhi Fuling Wan can improve local microcirculation, while Wuling San helps regulate fluid metabolism. Acupuncture and moxibustion at Shenshu, Sanyinjiao and other acupoints can help improve renal function. Some patients can alleviate symptoms of kidney yang deficiency such as chills and fatigue by combining moxibustion at acupoints such as Guan Yuan and Qi Hai. When the diameter of a renal cyst exceeds 5 centimeters or causes serious complications, traditional Chinese medicine treatment alone is difficult to eliminate the cyst. When co infected, symptoms such as fever, frequent urination, and urgency may occur, and antibiotic treatment should be combined at this time. If the cyst compresses the surrounding tissue and causes renal function damage, or there is a possibility of malignant transformation, Western medical treatment methods such as ultrasound-guided puncture and aspiration or laparoscopic surgery should be prioritized. Patients with renal cysts should avoid vigorous exercise in daily life to prevent cyst rupture, and limit a high salt and high-fat diet to reduce the burden on the kidneys. Regular follow-up ultrasound monitoring of cyst changes. If there is persistent lower back pain, hematuria, or elevated blood pressure, seek medical attention promptly. During the period of traditional Chinese medicine regulation, one should avoid eating raw, cold, and spicy foods, maintain a regular daily routine, and practice gentle health exercises such as Ba Duan Jin to enhance physical fitness.
