Patient's question:
I feel very uncomfortable in my private area, and that feeling is indescribable. It affects my work and life significantly, and it's very frustrating. Could you please tell me what are the clinical manifestations of prostatic cysts?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic cysts are composed of normal acini or are multilocular with cylindrical epithelial lining, some with low cuboidal epithelium. The cysts are filled with serous or serosanguineous fluid. Prostatic cysts can be transmitted through the second-order neurons and larger cysts may cause urinary obstruction when they grow and press against the urethra or bladder neck. Common symptoms include urgency, frequency, difficulty urinating, thin urine stream, urinary retention, and constipation when pressing against the rectum. When the cyst is large, digital rectal examination can palpate the cyst in the prostate region. Urethral contrast reveals an arcuate impression in the posterior urethra. MRI and CT can clearly determine its location. There are many treatment methods for prostatic cysts, but since the patient's condition is different, the treatment methods used are also different. Therefore, it is necessary for patients to be diagnosed as soon as possible so that the treatment can be targeted.
