Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling a persistent dull pain in the lower abdomen, especially when sitting for a long time. I've also experienced frequent urination, urgency, and sometimes a warm, painful sensation in the urethra. I went to the hospital for an ultrasound, and the report indicated a prostatic cyst. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Generally, it is caused by inflammation, leading to a dense fluid-filled cystic cavity in the prostate! The cavity is usually filled with pus! Currently, focus on treating the inflammation!Recommendations:
- If it is small and asymptomatic without secondary infection, treatment may not be necessary.
- If it is larger than 2 cm, it may cause intestinal obstruction and requires treatment.
- If conservative treatment is ineffective, aspiration of the fluid can alleviate symptoms.
- If necessary, surgical drainage may be required.
Timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications, while delayed treatment may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life to avoid prolonged sitting.
