Patient's question:
I don't know why, but I've been feeling a bit unwell recently. My friend said it might be due to a prostatic cyst, so I should go to the hospital for a thorough check-up. How is a prostatic cyst usually treated?Doctor's answer:
Generally, it is caused by inflammation, leading to a fluid-filled cystic cavity in the prostate. The cavity is usually filled with pus. Currently, the focus should be on treating the inflammation. Smaller, asymptomatic, and non-secondary infections may not require treatment. If the size is greater than 2 cm, it can lead to intestinal obstruction and may require treatment. Conservative treatment is often ineffective, and aspiration can alleviate symptoms. When necessary, surgical drainage is recommended. Additionally, for patients with prostatic cysts, diet and care during treatment are also very important. Patients must pay attention to rest and engage in appropriate activities to avoid unnecessary harm. I hope the above information helps you. Thank you.
