Patient's question:
Expert, I am 48 years old this year, and a careful examination revealed that I have a prostatic cyst. How should a prostatic cyst be treated for the best results?Doctor's answer:
Laparoscopic removal of prostatic cysts offers advantages such as clear exposure, short operation time, minimal pelvic damage, reduced psychological trauma, no need for fistula creation, and minimal skin incisions. It is the preferred method for treating prostatic cysts that protrude posteriorly toward the urethra and bladder neck. For cysts near the urethra or extending into the bladder, transurethral electroresection of the cyst is a better surgical approach. However, for young patients, preserving the seminal colliculus is crucial for normal ejaculation. When a patient has persistent high fever, no significant improvement in urinary symptoms, urethral discharge, or difficulty defecating, prostatic cysts should be considered. For patients with prostatic cysts, timely treatment can reduce complications. If left untreated, it may affect overall health.
