Patient's question:
I recently suddenly found that my urine flow was very thin when I urinated, and I was very puzzled because it was completely different from before. After doing some research, I suspected it might be a prostatic cyst and was very worried that the condition might worsen further. What are the correct treatment methods?Doctor's answer:
Prostate cyst: It is divided into congenital and acquired types. Congenital prostate cysts are formed by the residual parts of the caudal end of the Müllerian duct, also known as Müllerian duct cysts, which contain mesoderm, and the cyst wall can be composed of transitional epithelium, stratified squamous epithelium, or cuboidal epithelium. They are mostly located above the prostate and near the midline behind the bladder. Acquired prostate cysts are caused by intestinal obstruction of the prostate glandular acini and retention of secretions. Surgical treatment for prostate cysts primarily involves drainage, such as perineal incision drainage or transurethral prostatectomy drainage.
