Patient's question:
When urinating, I feel very weak, the stream is very thin, and it even feels like I'm not urinating properly. Is this prostatitis cyst? Please ask: what are the symptoms of prostatitis cyst?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic cysts are more common in adults, and diabetics are more prone to developing them. Clinical manifestations include urinary obstruction or bowel obstruction, with urinary obstruction often leading to acute urinary retention. Sometimes, purulent secretions may drip from the urethra. Digital rectal examination may detect a vibrating sensation in the prostate, although this is often not apparent until later stages. Occasionally, abscesses may rupture into the urethra, rectum, perineum, or surrounding spaces of the bladder, causing connective tissue inflammation. However, some patients may not experience fever, primarily showing lower urinary tract obstruction. Many patients also have epididymitis and orchitis. Prostatic cysts are often accompanied by seminal vesicle cysts and epididymal cysts. The seminal vesicles and epididymis play important roles in male fertility, especially the epididymis. If cysts lead to scar formation and fibrosis, deformation, it can interfere with sperm passage and impair sperm function. Therefore, severe prostatic cysts can affect male fertility and should be treated early.
