What causes prostatic cysts?

Patient's question:

The hospital found that I have prostatic cyst again. What caused the occurrence of prostatic cyst. What caused the prostatic cyst?

Doctor's answer:

Secondary prostatic cysts are caused by the rigidity of the prostatic stroma, leading to incomplete or intermittent obstruction of the acini, gradually thickening the acinar epithelium, and ultimately resulting in retention cysts. These include parasitic cysts, inflammatory retention cysts, and cysts formed by degenerative changes of prostatic cancer. Prostatic cysts can be secondarily infected with neurotrophic organisms and stones. Larger cysts can compress the urethra, causing urinary difficulties. Common symptoms include frequent urination, urinary urgency, difficulty urinating, thin urine stream, and urinary retention. For patients with prostatic cysts, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
