Can Kidney Cyst cause UT? Is it curable? I was diagnose long time ago with a cyst (small) in my kidney (L & R). Now it had gotten bigger. Before my doctor said if it's working don't do anything. Now my doc still says the same thing. But my back area is hurting (R-Kidney). Should I get a second opinon. Also how much cranberry juice do I drink and what foods to avoid.

If you have multiple cysts in both of your kidneys and they start to grow, you'll experience certain symptoms like back pain, abdominal pain, fever, frequent urinary tract infection.
People with kidney cyst in both kidneys, have greater risk for kidney stones leading to frequent UTI's.
Drink t between 300 and 750ml a day of cranberry juice!
