Patient's question:
The past two years, my husband was diagnosed with a prostatic cyst after a thorough examination at the hospital. He visited many hospitals and took various medications, but none of them were effective. Now, the whole family can't go to work and has been running around for his illness. What is the cause of this disease?Doctor's answer:
Prostate cysts can be transmitted through second-order neurons and stones. Larger cysts can obstruct the urethra, leading to difficulty in urination. Common symptoms include urgency, frequency, difficulty urinating, thin urine stream, and urinary retention. When the cyst is large, a digital rectal examination may reveal contact between the prostate and the cyst. Urethral contrast imaging can show a curved impression in the posterior urethra. MRI and CT scans can clearly determine its location. Smaller, asymptomatic cysts may not require treatment, while larger cysts or symptomatic smaller cysts can be treated surgically. For patients with prostate cysts, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease, while delayed treatment can affect overall health.
