Patient's question:
I went to the hospital for a physical examination and found that I had a prostatic cyst. I want to learn more about this condition. What are the causes of prostatic cysts?Doctor's answer:
Prostate cysts are formed by the blockage of ducts or glandular tubes in the prostate, leading to the accumulation of prostatic secretions. If a prostate cyst recurs, it can obstruct the urethra, causing difficulties in urination, recurring symptoms such as urinary urgency, dysuria, straining during urination, and thin urine stream. This can severely endanger men's health, so it is essential to seek timely treatment for prostate cysts. Prostate cysts are often associated with secondary nerve inflammation or stones. Under long-term repeated inflammatory stimulation, localized cysts can form focal lesions, and if not treated promptly, there is a risk of malignancy.
