Patient's question:
This week, I've been feeling like I can't fully empty my bladder when urinating, and it seems like I lack strength when urinating. The stream is very thin, and I even feel like I can't urinate properly. Is this condition related to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)? If so, could you please explain how to diagnose prostatic cysts?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic cysts are cystic changes that occur in the prostate gland due to congenital or acquired reasons. Generally, small cysts without discomfort symptoms do not require treatment. If the cyst is large or urination abnormalities appear, surgical treatment can be considered. It is recommended to stay active, avoid prolonged sitting, not ride bicycles or horses, maintain hygiene of the external genitalia, wear loose underwear, have regular sexual life, and avoid smoking, alcohol, and spicy foods. In addition to treating prostatic cysts, it is advised that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a joyful mood to enhance physical fitness and accelerate the recovery process.
