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, and suggested I go to the hospital for a thorough check-up. How is a prostatic cyst treated?Doctor's answer:
The prostatic cyst is formed by the obstruction of communication between prostatic ducts or acini, leading to the accumulation of prostatic secretions. There are two types: congenital and acquired. Acquired cysts include parasitic cysts, inflammatory retention, and other causes. They are usually discovered during health check-ups via magnetic resonance imaging. If you have no symptoms, treatment may not be necessary. However, if you experience discomfort, please consult a urology department at a hospital. Prostatic cyst conditions are prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital and consider treatment based on examination results. Additionally, it is advisable to quit smoking and drinking, maintain good personal hygiene, and wish all patients a speedy recovery.
