I had a renal ultrasound and IVP. They said I have a kidney stone in the lower right kidney and a possible peri-pelvic cyst on my left side (what is this???)
I have an appointment with a urologist named Dr. Weyrich - do you know anything about him???? What can I expect from this appointment?? Does this explain the frequent urination and pressure in the bladder???? Can a cyst ever be cancerous??? When they say possible cyst, what else could it be? I have pain in my right back that goes around the front. On the left side, it is mostly in the abdominal area - which is quite painful. I would very much appreciate your response. Thank you.

Dear Janice,
I will try to answer your questions as best as possible. A cyst is a fluid filled sac which is found incidentally in many patients who undergo studies for different reasons, such as a stone , etc. Most cysts are "simple" cysts which are essentially benign and do not cause many symptoms or problems. If a cyst is a "complex" cyst, on the other hand, it has potential for malignancy. There are different kinds of complex cysts , and some are more problematic than others. A peri-pelvic cyst is a cyst that is near the region of the kidney referred to as the pelvis. As to knowing your doctor, unfortunately I don't know him.
Urinary frequency could be due to many things, but a kidney cyst is an unlikely cause. Frequent urination may be as a result of bladder infection, bladder stones, bladder instability an hyperactivity, incomplete bladder emptying, bladder tumor to name a few.
Your back and side pain may be due to your kidney stone.
You need a full evaluation by your urologist who will do a complete history and physical, and review all your tests and x-rays. He may also do other tests, including a cystoscopy which is looking inside the bladder with an illuminated telescope. The size and position of your stone will be important to your urologist. It is important for you to follow up with him.
