Patient's question:
When I went to the toilet yesterday, it felt a bit awkward, like I couldn't empty my bladder completely. Also, I think my hemorrhoids are getting worse. Is this because my benign prostatic hyperplasia is flaring up again, causing pressure?Question: What should I do if I have a prostatic cyst?
Doctor's answer:
Smaller, asymptomatic cysts generally do not require treatment unless they are complicated by infection, and only need to be monitored closely for changes. Larger cysts or symptomatic small cysts can be treated surgically. There have been reports of cyst puncture and aspiration under ultrasound guidance, followed by the instillation of a coagulating agent. However, due to incomplete or intermittent adenoma obstruction, even after such puncture and aspiration, cysts are still prone to recurrence due to the excretion of local glands. Surgical treatment for prostatic cysts primarily involves drainage, such as perineal incision drainage or transurethral resection of the prostate. The treatment of acute prostatitis includes stabilizing the overall condition and local therapy.
