Patient's question:
I am really very troubled. I was diagnosed with prostatitis earlier, and now I have symptoms like frequent urination, painful urination, incomplete urination, and occasionally urine splitting. I've also started experiencing problems in my sex life. I'm still very young, and I really feel very helpless. Please ask: How can prostatic cysts be treated to improve?Doctor's answer:
Prostate cysts are caused by cystic changes in the prostate gland due to congenital or acquired reasons. 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 prostate urethra. Smaller, asymptomatic cysts may not require treatment, while larger cysts or symptomatic small cysts can be treated surgically. Surgical approaches include transvesical, extravesical, transperineal, transrectal, and others. Poor exposure often leads to incomplete cyst removal, resulting in high recurrence rates and frequent complications. When the cyst is near the perineum, transperineal surgery for cyst removal may lead to ED, so it should be used cautiously in young patients. Prostate cyst conditions are prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication for management.
