What is a Liver Cyst?

A Liver cyst is a fluid-filled sac that develops within the liver. Most are simple cysts that do not pose health risks, but some may be associated with underlying conditions like polycystic liver disease or parasitic infections. Regular monitoring ensures early detection of complications.

Common Causes of Liver Cyst

Congenital Conditions: Many liver cysts form due to abnormal development before birth.
Polycystic Liver Disease: A genetic disorder causing multiple cysts.
Liver Trauma or Injury: Rarely, cysts form after surgical or physical injury.
Tumors or Malignant Growths: Some complex cysts may indicate cystic tumors.

When to Seek Medical Help?

Seek immediate medical attention if you experience:

Persistent or severe abdominal pain.
Unexplained bloating or fullness.
Sudden, sharp pain (potential cyst rupture).
