Patient's question:
I discovered a prostate cyst during my recent ultrasound examination, but it is not very large and has not been found to interfere with my life. In my case, what are the key points for the care of a prostate cyst?Doctor's answer:
Congenital Prostatic Cyst Congenital cysts are due to incomplete atrophy of the accessory renal ducts, fusing at the midline, forming a deep diverticulum or cyst at the lower bladder, opening posteriorly into the prostatic urethra. Congenital cysts are also known as prostatic diverticula, resulting from incomplete atrophy of the paramesonephric ducts, fusing at the midline, forming a deep diverticulum or cyst near the midline of the lower bladder, opening posteriorly into the prostatic urethra. Congenital prostatic cysts are often associated with other congenital diseases such as hypospadias, cryptorchidism, and renal agenesis.
