Patient's question:
For a while now, my testicles have been slightly swollen with a dull ache. Recently, they've started to hurt more, especially when touched, and it feels particularly intense. It seems there's also some swelling on the other side. I'm very worried. Could you please tell me how to treat a prostatic cyst?Doctor's answer:
Prostate cysts are caused by cystic changes in the prostate gland due to congenital or acquired reasons. Generally, smaller cysts do not cause discomfort and do not require treatment. If the cyst is larger or if urinary abnormalities reappear, surgical treatment may be considered. It is recommended to stay active, avoid prolonged sitting, not ride bicycles or horses, maintain good hygiene of the external genitalia, wear loose underwear, have regular sexual activity, and avoid smoking, alcohol, and spicy foods.Prostate cyst conditions are prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital immediately. Treatment should be decided based on examination results. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity are necessary. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
