Arjun Singh, a 58-year-old retired school...
Arjun Singh, a 58-year-old retired school principal from Delhi, had been managing his health well until persistent, dull pain in his right flank began disrupting his daily yoga and time with his grandchildren. A CT scan revealed a large, 8cm simple cyst on his right kidney. His urologist, Dr. Kapoor, explained that while the cyst was likely benign, its size was causing the discomfort and, if left, could lead to complications like infection or high blood pressure. Arjun was apprehensive about surgery but trusted Dr. Kapoor's recommendation for a laparoscopic removal to minimize recovery time. The procedure went smoothly, with three small incisions. Post-surgery, Arjun experienced manageable soreness and was walking the same day. Within two weeks, the flank pain was completely gone. Emotionally, he moved from a state of quiet worry about a hidden 'time bomb' in his body to immense relief and gratitude. He felt he had regained control of his health and could fully enjoy his active retirement without the shadow of constant discomfort.
