Patient's question:
I recently caught a cold, and after recovering from it, I don't know why there started to be a discharge from my urethral opening. Additionally, I've been experiencing persistent lower back pain, which has become increasingly severe lately. My friend suggested that this might be prostatitis. I would like to ask: How can I treat prostatic cysts to recover more quickly?Doctor's answer:
Prostate cysts can be transmitted through second-order neurons and stones. Larger cysts can obstruct the urethra, leading to difficulty in urination. Common symptoms include urinary urgency, frequent urination, difficulty urinating, thin urine stream, and urinary retention. Congenital prostate cysts are often accompanied by other congenital diseases such as hypospadias, cryptorchidism, and renal agenesis. When the cyst is large, a digital rectal examination can detect the cyst in the prostate, and urethral contrast imaging can reveal an arcuate impression in the posterior urethra. MRI and CT can clearly determine its location. Smaller, asymptomatic cysts may not require treatment, while larger cysts or symptomatic small cysts can be treated surgically. There are various surgical approaches, including transvesical, extravesical, perineal, and rectal methods. Poor exposure during surgery often leads to incomplete cyst removal!
