I am a 65 yeat old male with a 2.2 cm cyst on my left kindy and 6.0 cm cyst on my right kidney, both Class I. I am an active skydiver, runner, weight trainer and golfer, weighing 160 lbs and 5'9". I am otherwise asymptomatic, although I sense some bloating, but this might be psychosoamtic now that I know that I have a tennis ball size gorwth in my abdomen. I am, However, also gaining weight, which has not noticiably changed in 50 years.
My questions: Can the cysts burst, and if so with what consequences? Since the cysts were just dicovered, how do I know how fast they are growing [waiting a year for an ultrasound seems a bit risky]? And at what point is invasive action indicated?
