Patient's question:
Lately, these past few days, I've been feeling uncomfortable when using the restroom, a bit painful. Usually, I feel a burning sensation at the urethral opening. Basically, I'm just restless. I'm only 49 years old this year, could it be that I have prostatitis? If it really is, please ask: How is it best to treat prostatic cysts?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic cysts are caused by cystic changes in the prostate gland due to congenital or acquired reasons. Congenital cysts result from incomplete atrophy of the, which fuses at the midline and forms a deep diverticulum or cyst below the bladder, opening posteriorly into the prostatic urethra.Recommendations: Smaller, asymptomatic cysts may not require treatment, while larger cysts or symptomatic small cysts can be treated surgically. Surgical approaches include transvesical, extravesical, perineal, transrectal, and other methods. For patients with prostatic cysts, timely treatment can help reduce the risk of complications.
