Patient's question:
Recently, after finishing a sexual activity, I've been feeling uncomfortable, having difficulty urinating, and experiencing pain. Today, I went to the hospital and was told it's a prostatic cyst. I hope not to undergo surgery and prefer to recover through exercise or medication. Can it recover on its own?Doctor's answer:
Prostate cyst, generally believed to be a benign prostatic disease, the onset cause is unclear, partly due to congenital developmental malformations. When the cyst is small, there are usually no symptoms, and it is often discovered incidentally during a prostate ultrasound. In this case, no special treatment is needed, and periodic follow-up examinations are sufficient. If the cyst decreases significantly and causes compression symptoms, surgical treatment should be considered. Prostate cysts can be cured, but the treatment process is usually slow, and recurrence is common after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor and appropriate medication are essential during treatment.
