Patient's question:
I have been having difficulty urinating recently, especially with great effort. I suspect I might have a problem with my prostate and am afraid it could be a cyst. What are the symptoms of a prostate cyst?Doctor's answer:
1. Frequent urination, urgent urination: The most common symptom is frequent urination, which gradually worsens.2. Progressive urinary difficulty: Mainly characterized by slow initiation of urination, difficulty urinating, weak urine stream, thin stream, dribbling, intermittent urination, and incomplete emptying of the bladder.
3. Urinary incontinence.
4. Acute urinary retention: If triggered by factors such as cold exposure, alcohol consumption, or overexertion, leading to congestion and edema of the prostate and bladder neck, acute urinary retention may occur.
5. Hematuria: The amount of bleeding is usually intermittent, with occasional large clots filling the bladder, requiring urgent treatment.
6. Symptoms of renal insufficiency: In advanced stages, long-term urinary tract obstruction leads to the deterioration of both kidney functions, symptoms such as poor appetite, nausea, vomiting, and anemia.
