Dear Doctors, My sister is 16 and has a lower polar simple cortical cyst. Can you please explain what this is and how she got it. Also is this something to worry about? Thanks Docs!
Hello, Thanks for your query.  If she Is asymptomatic, she might not need any active Intervention. If she develops symptoms like pain In loin or hematuria, you need to consult a urologist. Cyst means a swelling which Is hollow like balloon. Cortical means It Is placed In the outer layer of kidney. Even the size of the cyst matters which you have not mentioned . Hope I have answered your query I will be available for your follow-up queries If any. Wishing you good health.
