Patient's question:
A few days ago, I had difficulty urinating and thought I had a prostatic cyst. But it turned out to be something else, which scared me. How can I prevent prostatic cysts?Doctor's answer:
Keep clean. The scrotum of males has high elasticity and excretes a lot of sweat. Moreover, the ventilation conditions of the genital area are poor, making it very easy for dirt and filth to accumulate. Local bacteria often take advantage of this to enter and cause infections. This can lead to issues such as sexual dysfunction, prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and prostatic cysts. Therefore, maintaining good hygiene by regularly washing the perineum is an important step in preventing prostatic cysts.Avoid getting cold. This is also one of the preventive measures for prostatic cysts. Preventing colds and upper respiratory infections from recurring is crucial. Avoid sitting on cold stone surfaces for long periods, as cold can stimulate the sympathetic nervous system, increasing urethral pressure and leading to reflux, which may also contribute to the development of prostatic cysts.
