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 revealed it's a prostatic cyst. I'm not familiar with it, so I'd like to ask, how should this condition, prostatic cyst, be treated?Doctor's answer:
Prostate cysts are divided into two types: congenital and acquired. They can control the urethra, leading to urethral stricture, which may cause urinary retention. Some prostate cysts are caused by adhesions and can control the rectum, resulting in a sense of rectal fullness and difficulty in defecation.Treatment for prostate cysts: If the cysts cause urethral stricture, affecting normal urination, or lead to defecation difficulties, surgical treatment is required. If the cysts are small and have not caused functional impairment, conservative treatment or close follow-up and observation can be considered. For severe cases of prostate cysts, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's advice for timely treatment. Avoid using medication blindly to prevent worsening the condition. The above suggestions are for reference only.
It is hoped that the above answer will be helpful to you. Thank you.
