Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain. After examination, it was found to be a prostatic cyst. What kind of disease is it? How should it be treated? What kind of disease is a prostatic cyst? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic cysts often recur in adults, with diabetic patients being more prone to recurrence. Clinical diagnosis involves urinary or bowel obstruction, where urinary obstruction frequently leads to acute urinary retention. Sometimes, purulent secretions may flow from the urethra, and a digital rectal examination may detect a vibrating sensation in the prostate, though this often appears in later stages. Occasionally, abscesses may rupture into the urethra, rectum, perineum, or perivesical space, causing connective tissue inflammation. However, some patients may not experience fever, primarily due to lower urinary tract obstruction, and many also have epididymitis or orchitis.What is a prostatic cyst? How is it treated? Treatment for prostatic cysts should ideally be combined with physical therapy and should not involve self-medication. The causes of prostatic diseases involve biological, psychological, and social factors. Among these, social factors include drug abuse, consuming spicy foods, and other irritants.
