Patient's question:
Lately, these past few days, I've been feeling uncomfortable when using the restroom, with some pain. Usually, I feel a burning sensation at the urethral opening. Basically, I've been feeling restless. I'm only 54 years old this year, could it be that I have prostatitis? If it really is, please ask: How can prostatic cysts be avoided from misdiagnosis?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic cysts are formed due to the narrowing of prostatic ducts, leading to blockage and gradual retention of the contents. If there are no current discomfort symptoms, treatment is not necessary. If the cyst is large or if urinary abnormalities reoccur, surgical treatment can be considered.In daily life, it is important to engage in regular exercise, avoid prolonged sitting and holding urine, maintain good hygiene of the external genitalia, have a regular sexual life, avoid sexual intercourse, drink plenty of water, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and avoid spicy foods. Avoid smoking and alcohol.
Prostatic cysts can be relieved, but the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment and use medication appropriately.
