Patient's question:
I am now the manager of the company, and to others, I am already successful in my career. However, recently I have been feeling discomfort, and my wife insists that I go to the hospital for a thorough check-up. Lately, I haven't known how many times I need to use the restroom, and it has become much more difficult than before. The hospital said I have a prostatic cyst. How should I treat it?Doctor's answer:
Smaller, asymptomatic cysts may not require treatment, while larger cysts or symptomatic small cysts can be treated surgically. When a patient has persistent high fever, no significant improvement in urinary symptoms, urethral discharge, or difficulty in defecation, the possibility of a prostatic cyst should be considered. After thorough examination and diagnosis with ultrasound and other methods, treatment options such as abscess incision and drainage or needle drainage may be performed. Only after the abscess is completely eradicated will the symptoms alleviate. During treatment, medications should be used symptomatically, and patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene.
