Hello
Generally renal and splenic cysts only require follow up ultrasound.
Cysts are generally due to age related developmental causes.
If size of cyst increases or there is infection,pain etc then it may require further investigations and treatment.These conditions may need definitive treatment for cysts.
Generally simple cysts only need watchful observation.Medicines are usually not prescribed.
Get well soon.
Take Care
