Patient's question:
A few weeks ago, I caught a cold. After recovering from the cold, I don't know why there started to be a discharge from my urethral opening, and I've also been experiencing lower back pain. In recent days, it has become increasingly severe. My friend said this might be prostatitis. I would like to ask: How can prostatic cyst be effectively treated?Doctor's answer:
Smaller and asymptomatic cysts generally do not require treatment unless they are complicated by infection. Monitoring and careful observation of their changes are sufficient. 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 coagulant. However, due to incomplete or intermittent adenoma obstruction, even after such puncture and aspiration, cyst recurrence is still more likely due to the excretion of local adenomas. Surgical treatment of prostatic cysts primarily involves drainage, such as perineal incision drainage or transurethral resection of the prostate. The treatment of acute prostatitis includes stabilizing the general condition and local therapy.
