Patient's question:
I don't know why, but I've been feeling a bit unwell lately. My friend said it might be due to a prostatic cyst, and suggested I go to the hospital for a thorough check-up. If I have a prostatic cyst, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic cysts are cystic changes that occur again due to congenital or acquired reasons in the prostate gland. Congenital cysts result from incomplete atrophy of the, which fuses at the midline and forms a deep diverticulum or cyst below the bladder, opening posteriorly into 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, and ultimately resulting in retention cysts. These cysts can be located anywhere within the prostate or weakly at the neck of the bladder, with a diameter of 1 to 2 centimeters. Prostatic cysts can be stable, but the treatment duration is generally long, and recurrence is prone after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's treatment, appropriate medication, and maintaining good lifestyle habits and dietary choices are recommended during the treatment period. It is hoped that male patients can recover as soon as possible.
