Patient's question:
I discovered a prostate cyst during my recent ultrasound, but it's not very large and hasn't caused any interference in my life. In my case, what kind of examination is required for a prostate cyst?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic cysts are cystic changes that occur again due to congenital or acquired reasons of the prostate gland. Congenital cysts result from incomplete atrophy of the, fusion at the midline, forming a deep diverticulum or cyst at the bladder base, opening posterior to the prostatic urethra. Acquired cysts are caused by the rigidity of the prostatic stroma leading to incomplete or intermittent obstruction of the acini, gradually thickening the acinar epithelium, ultimately resulting in retention cysts that can be located anywhere within the prostate or extending to the bladder neck, with a diameter of 1 to 2 centimeters. Prostatic cysts are cystic changes that occur again due to congenital or acquired reasons of the prostatic gland.
