Patient's question:
When I went to the bathroom yesterday, it felt a bit awkward, like I couldn't fully empty my bladder. Also, I think my hemorrhoids are getting worse. Is this because my prostatic cyst is recurring, causing pressure? Please ask: What are the common symptoms of a prostatic cyst?Doctor's answer:
Common symptoms of prostatic cyst include urgency, frequency, difficulty urinating, thin stream, urinary retention, and straining during urination; pressing on the rectum may cause difficulties in defecation. In the early stages, prostatic cyst is asymptomatic, but it may manifest discomfort, lower back pain, rectal and testicular pain, pain during bowel movements, which gradually subside. The urine may become cloudy, and symptoms of frequency, urgency, and dysuria may reappear. The epididymis is often affected, becoming swollen, hardened, irregular in surface, with mild tenderness, which may lead to urethral stricture and difficulty urinating. Pay attention to rest and deep sleep to prevent overexertion, and engage in moderate physical exercise.
