Patient's question:
Yesterday when I was using the restroom, it felt a bit uncomfortable, like I wasn't fully emptying my bladder. Also, I think my hemorrhoids are getting worse. Could this be my prostatic cyst flaring up again, causing pressure?Question: If I have a prostatic cyst, is there a way to treat it?
Doctor's answer:
Etiology of Prostate Cyst:1. Prostate Cyst, Parasitic Cyst: Caused by parasites, such as echinococcosis, which can lead to chronic inflammation of the prostate ducts and surrounding tissues, or result in granulomatous fibrosis, gradually forming a cyst.
2. True Prostate Cyst: Due to developmental abnormalities during embryonic development, the prostate gland ducts become narrowed, leading to blockage. The gradual accumulation of contents forms a retention-type prostate cyst.
3. Congenital Prostate Cyst: The patient has abnormal development of the mesonephric ducts and paramesonephric ducts congenitally, with partial dilation of the ducts forming a cyst. Congenital prostate cysts are often accompanied by conditions such as hypospadias, cryptorchidism, and renal agenesis.
