Patient's question:
A few days ago, I went to a hot spring with friends. After coming back, I felt a bit uncomfortable with my prostate. When I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, it was found to be a prostatic cyst. How serious is a prostatic cyst? Where should I go for treatment?Doctor's answer:
Prostate cysts are caused by the retention of prostatic fluid excretion. They have nothing to do with hot spring baths. In principle, special treatment is not necessary, but if there are symptoms such as urethral discomfort, perineal and lower abdominal pain, it is recommended to go to the hospital for further examination. It can be cured if the diagnosis of prostatic cyst is clear. However, the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to the symptoms. In addition, it is recommended to develop good living habits and eat a proper diet during treatment.
