Patient's question:
These past few days, I've been experiencing some pain in my lower abdomen, especially when I go to the bathroom. Today, the hospital examination said it was a prostatic cyst. I don't really understand, so I want to ask, what tests are needed to confirm a prostatic cyst?Doctor's answer:
What tests are needed for prostatic cyst?1. Cystoscopy: Visible semicircular or pedunculated translucent tumors with a diameter of 1–2 cm, weakly attached to the bladder neck, which are mostly acquired prostatic cysts.
2. X-ray examination: Urethral contrast, as the cyst is not connected to the urethra, does not show any manifestations, no abnormalities are found. Intravenous urography can reveal urinary system malformations, such as renal agenesis.
3. B-mode magnetic resonance imaging: Circular or elliptical hyperechoic areas with smooth inner walls and clear margins, without internal echoes, can be detected in the prostate region. Transrectal magnetic resonance imaging shows a clear, round, echo-free area extending from the central prostate to the posteroinferior direction, shaped like a teardrop, connected to the seminal ridge by a small pedicle.
