Nothing to be done with cyst if it is symptomatic and in rare cases if cyst have ruptured than we might have to remove that kidney.

Polycystic kidney doesn't require treatment per se. Most important is to keep monitoring kidney function because Polycystic kidney can lead to kidney failure. For a cyst of 3.5 cm again usually no treatment is required unless it is causing pain/infection /bleeding or there is some abnormality detected on ct scan. /bleeding
