Patient's question:
What causes prostatic cysts? I've been experiencing frequent urination lately, always feeling the need to go to the bathroom, but with very little urine output, especially at night. It's affecting the quality of my deep sleep. Today, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and they said it's a prostatic abscess. How is this possible? I'm very healthy. What is a prostatic cyst?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic cyst is a cystic change that occurs again due to congenital or acquired reasons in the prostate gland. Prostatic cysts are divided into congenital and acquired. Congenital cysts are caused by incomplete atrophy of the accessory renal tubes, while acquired cysts are due to the rigidity of the prostate stroma, leading to incomplete or intermittent obstruction of the acini. This gradually thickens the acinar epithelium, resulting in prostatic cysts. Prostatic cysts can be stable, but the treatment period is generally long, and the disease is prone to recur after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's medication plan is essential during treatment.
