Patient's question:
Gender: Male, recently diagnosed with a prostatic cyst, but the treatment is not improving.Doctor's answer:
Prostatic cysts are cystic changes that occur again due to congenital or acquired reasons in the prostate gland. Congenital cysts are due to incomplete atrophy of the, which fuses at the midline and forms a deep diverticulum or cyst at the lower bladder, opening posteriorly into the prostatic urethra. Acquired cysts are caused by the rigidity of the prostatic stroma, leading to incomplete or intermittent obstruction of the acini, gradually thickening the acinar epithelium, and ultimately resulting in retention cysts. These cysts can be located in any part of the prostate or weakens to the neck of the bladder, with a diameter of 1 to 2 centimeters.
