Patient's question:
I noticed prostatic cysts when I had an ultrasound a few days ago, but now the cysts are not very large and have not been found to affect life. In my case, what should I do if I have a male prostatic cyst?Doctor's answer:
Prostate cysts are similar to kidney cysts. If the cyst grows very large and controls the kidney tissue, causing the kidney function to gradually worsen, measures must be taken. The cyst is usually filled with liquid. Sometimes, under the guidance of ultrasound, a drainage pump may be used, or surgery may be performed to remove it. If the prostate cyst is very small, it generally does not cause significant issues. However, if it grows larger, measures must still be taken. Cysts usually grow very slowly and do not require special solutions or specific treatments. If the cyst shrinks, follow-up examinations every one or two years are recommended to monitor the size of the lump and any changes. This is sufficient. Generally, if the cyst does not affect prostate function, no special measures are needed.
