Patient's question:
What tests need to be done for prostatic cysts? What causes prostatic cysts, is it lifestyle or external influences? How are prostatic cysts treated? How to regulate them? What tests need to be done for prostatic cysts?Doctor's answer:
1. Cystoscopy examination: Prostate cysts are often visible as semi-circular or pedunculated, translucent masses with a diameter of 1-2 cm, located weakly at the neck of the bladder. Most of them are acquired cysts.2. CT examination: Large prostate cysts and Müllerian duct cysts are located in the posterior midline of the prostate, appearing as round, well-defined cystic lesions with water-like density.
3. X-ray examination:
(1) Intravenous urography: Can reveal urinary tract abnormalities, such as renal agenesis.
(2) Urethrogram: Does not show any manifestations because the cysts are not connected to the urethra, with no abnormalities detected.
4. B-mode magnetic resonance imaging: Can detect smooth inner walls, clear margins, and echo-free circular or elliptical hyperechoic areas in the prostate region. Transrectal MRI demonstrates the prostate extending posteriorly and superiorly, with clear margins and echo-free areas.
