Patient's question:
I am 34 years old this year and unfortunately suffer from prostatic cyst. Please ask the doctor what are the common complications after prostatic cyst surgery.Doctor's answer:
A friend with prostatic cyst may experience recurrent infection and stones if the condition is not treated promptly or adequately. Larger cysts can obstruct the urethra, leading to difficulty in urination, so it is essential to seek timely treatment. Common symptoms of prostatic cyst include urinary urgency, frequent urination, difficulty urinating, thin urine stream, and urinary retention. Moreover, congenital prostatic cysts are often associated with other congenital conditions such as hypospadias, cryptorchidism, and renal agenesis. When the cyst is large, a digital rectal examination may reveal the cyst upon touching the prostate, and urethral contrast imaging can show an arc-shaped impression in the posterior urethra. It is important to pay attention to lifestyle factors: avoid prolonged sitting, as it increases pressure on the prostate, and many patients with prostatic diseases find prolonged sitting uncomfortable.
