Does anyone struggle with hemorrhaging cysts?

I mean not the cyst rupture or bleeding outside, but when the cyst bleeds inside itself. The cyst fills up with blood and expands, causing a good amount of pain and discomfort. The first time this happened last year, and at the hospital they had to drain it. After that it was good for a while. Now this spring it started happening again – 5–6 times already. Every time after some light physical activity. I just power through the pain for 3–4 days and after that it gets normal. Because of that I'm hesitant to do simple house chores. Does this happen to you?
Also, has anyone had experience with renal artery embolization ? Basically blocking the blood vessel that feeds the cyst.
