Patient's question:
Five days ago, I started experiencing frequent urination. After just urinating, I immediately felt the urge to go again. When I tried to urinate again, it took a long time before it came out. On the third day, I still felt like I wasn't fully emptying my bladder. Over the past two days, I've been drinking a lot of water, and I've been urinating roughly every 20 minutes. There was a delay of about 10 seconds before the urine started to flow, but I no longer feel the sensation of incomplete urination, nor do I experience any pain or burning during urination.This morning, I drank a bit more, and I had a brief, about 30-second, pain in my lower abdomen when I wasn't urinating.
I went to the hospital today for a color ultrasound and a detailed urinalysis. The ultrasound only showed a prostatic cyst (size 382417, with a clear outline and a visible liquid dark area inside, about 43 in size). Everything else, like the ureters and kidneys, was fine. The urinalysis was also normal. The doctor said it was nothing to worry about and told me to drink more water. But I've had sexual activity for about two years, specifically in the past two years—just five days ago, after I finished masturbating, that night...
Doctor's answer:
Hello, I'm glad to help you with your questions. You probably had some urinary tract infection issues before. Drinking more water and urinating more can help clean the urethra. Small cysts don't need to be treated. Prostate cysts are generally divided into congenital and acquired ones, and they usually don't interfere with your health. Generally, there's no need for special treatment, but if treatment is needed, surgery is the option. After drinking more water, you should also avoid sexual activity in the future.In addition, during the treatment for the prostate, besides symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also very important. The patient must maintain a light diet and keep a cheerful and optimistic mindset to avoid unnecessary interference with the complete recovery of the prostate.
