Hello! Your cyst does not cause you any pain? Does your doctor follow up? I haven’t had any injuries, so I am confused as to how these developed. Everything I have read online says the same thing, cysts larger than 5cm and ones that are causing pain are treated. All the doctors I’ve seen say it is not that big and always relate my pain to “likely” be something else. I saw the GI doctor today, he agreed and says not related to spleen, my cyst and spleen are small. He thinks my pain is related to stomach acid. I am getting very different answers. I may try to see another doctor. Are you familiar with the type of doctor I should see and would be able to give me more information on my splenic cysts? Thank you!

Yes my cyst does give me pain at times especially when I'm sick. It's rare I'm ever sick but when I am and my white count is high then it hurts. An internal medicine doc maybe your best bet.
