Patient's question:
These past few days, I've been experiencing some pain in my lower abdomen, especially when I go to the bathroom. Today, the hospital examination revealed that it's a prostatic cyst. I'm not familiar with this, so I'd like to ask, what are the effective methods to treat a prostatic cyst?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic cysts are caused by cystic changes in the prostate gland due to congenital or acquired reasons. Congenital cysts result from incomplete atrophy of the Wolffian ducts, which fuse at the midline and form a deep diverticulum or cyst at the base of the bladder, opening posteriorly into the prostatic urethra. Acquired cysts are caused by fibrous stroma of the prostate leading to incomplete or intermittent obstruction of the acini, gradually thickening the acinar epithelium and ultimately resulting in retention cysts. Hello. Prostatic cysts pose significant harm to men, interfering with sperm in semen and reducing sperm vitality, which can lead to male infertility. Men should pay close attention to prostatic cysts, as leaving them untreated for a long time can cause symptoms such as frequent urination, severely affecting their normal work and life.
