For patients with liver cysts, if abdominal distension occurs, it is important to promptly recheck with an ultrasound, which can better observe the size of the liver cysts. For larger liver cysts, which might cause abdominal distension and potentially liver function abnormalities, surgical removal is necessary to achieve therapeutic effects. Generally, liver cysts that are small in size do not cause noticeable discomfort and are mostly discovered during ultrasound examinations, requiring no special treatment other than regular ultrasound monitoring. For patients with larger liver cysts, it is crucial to pay close attention and perform surgical removal as early as possible to improve the prognosis.
