Patient's question:
When I went to the bathroom yesterday, it felt a bit rough, like I wasn't fully emptying my bladder, and I also felt that my hemorrhoids might be getting worse. Is this because my prostatic cyst is recurring, causing pressure?Could you please tell me: What are the common symptoms of a prostatic cyst?
Doctor's answer:
Common symptoms of prostatic cyst include urgency, frequency, difficulty urinating, thin urine stream, urination difficulties, and urinary retention. Pressure on the rectum can cause bowel movement difficulties. In the early stages, prostatic cyst is asymptomatic, but it may manifest discomfort, lower back pain, anal and testicular pain, pain during bowel movements, with symptoms gradually subsiding. Urine may become cloudy, and symptoms of frequency, urgency, and dysuria may reappear. The epididymis is often affected, becoming swollen, hardened, and irregular in surface, with mild tenderness, which can lead to urethral stricture and urination difficulties. Pay attention to rest and deep sleep to prevent overexertion, and engage in moderate physical exercise.
