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 prostatitis cyst? If so, please ask: How should I treat it if I get a prostatitis cyst to handle it well?Doctor's answer:
Smaller and 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 glandular obstruction, even after such puncture and aspiration, cysts are still prone to recurrence due to local glandular excretion. Surgical treatment for prostatic cysts primarily involves drainage, such as perineal incision drainage or transurethral prostatectomy drainage. The treatment of acute prostatitis includes stabilizing the overall condition and local therapy. The most important aspect is to implement radical treatment targeting the cause. Generally, the prognosis is good. Prostatic cysts are prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication to maintain stability.
