Patient's question:
How should prostatic cysts be treated? How should prostatic cysts be treated? How should prostatic cysts be treated? I want to ask the doctor to clarify, thank you for the question above!Doctor's answer:
Prostatic cysts are cystic changes that occur again due to congenital or acquired reasons in the prostate gland. Congenital cysts result from incomplete reflux of the (Wolffian ducts) in the midline, forming a deep diverticulum or cyst at the bladder base, opening posteriorly into the prostatic urethra. Acquired cysts are caused by fibrous prostate stroma leading to incomplete or intermittent obstruction of the acini, gradually thickening the acinar epithelium until a retention cyst forms. These cysts can be located anywhere within the prostate or extend to the bladder neck, with a diameter of 1-2 cm. Prostatic cysts can be secondarily infected with stones, and larger cysts may compress the urethra, causing urinary difficulties. Common symptoms include urinary urgency, frequency, difficulty urinating, thin urine stream, and urinary retention.
