Patient's question:
I and my husband went to the hospital yesterday for a thorough examination because he had urgency and frequency of urination, and it seemed that his prostate was slightly inflamed. After a careful examination at the hospital, the doctor diagnosed it as a prostatic cyst. What could be the cause of it?Doctor's answer:
1. Inflammatory cyst.2. Acquired cyst.
4. True prostatic cyst, where the prostate gland encounters developmental abnormalities during embryonic development, leading to the narrowing of prostatic ducts, causing blockage, and gradually accumulating content to form a cyst. Therefore, it is also known as a retention prostatic cyst.
5. Congenital cyst, which is formed due to abnormal development of the mesonephric duct and mesonephric paracanal, with partial expansion of the lumen forming a cyst. Congenital prostatic cysts are often associated with other congenital diseases such as hypospadias, cryptorchidism, and renal agenesis.
