Do Presence Of Cysts In Liver Cause Abdominal Pain?
I have had a metal/spicy taste in my mouth for the last 4 months, and now I've developed bloating in my upper right abdominal area with discomfort/tightening. I recently had an MRI of my liver which showed a few small cysts. Do you think they are related, and should I have the cysts removed?

Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.
Only large cysts in the liver can cause some dull pain. You are having only small cysts and these do not cause abdominal pain.
You are having dyspeptic symptoms. Check your blood glucose level and also get tested for H.pylori infection.
Avoid fatty food.
You may get benefited by taking prokinetic medications.
I hope that answers your question.
Regards,
Dr.R.K
