Hello, I Did An Ultrasound Done In 2011 (regular Check

Question : Hello,

I did an Ultrasound done in 2011 (regular check up) and the report said I am having grade 1 fatty liver and was asked to reduce weight. Later as a part of regular health check up, I did the abdomen USG in Dec 2015, 2016 & 2017. The Dec 2017 report said “elongated cystic area in the left lobe of the liver measuring 4.0 X 0.8 cm – possibly a simple cyst / prominent vein. No internal change in size & morphology to previous scan dated Dec 2015”. FYI, I have had some left side back pain (radiating to left shoulder backside) & diarrhea few years ago (before 2001) & done my abdomen USG although I dont have report now.

I have some mild pain in left side under the ribs. I am 45 years old man weight 80 Kg and do some less exercises. I unable to reduce my weight for past 6 months. I am non alcoholic person and have stressful routines. My questions – 1) Is the cyst making the pain in my left side under ribs ? 2) What can be done to remove or eliminate the cyst with diet or pills /medicine although there is no pain in my right side but feel uncomfortable at the upper stomach side & have a black spot there ?
