hi,
You have not mentioned your age. The cysts can be classified based on the characteristics on CT scan. Its graded from type 1 to type 4. Type 1 and type 2 can be observed and type 3 and type 4 needs to be removed. Your cyst is very small and most likely to be of type 1. You dont need to panic. You serially followup the size of cyst by ultrasound. Your pain is unlrelated to your cyst. Visit a urologist.
