Patient's question:
What should I do if I have a prostatic cyst? What should I do if I have a prostatic cyst? What should I do if I have a prostatic cyst?Doctor's answer:
Smaller and asymptomatic cysts generally do not require treatment unless they are complicated by infection, and only need to be monitored closely for changes. Larger cysts or symptomatic small cysts can be treated surgically. There have been reports of cyst puncture and aspiration under ultrasound guidance, followed by the instillation of a coagulant. However, due to incomplete or intermittent adenomatous obstruction, even after such puncture and aspiration, cyst recurrence is still more likely due to local glandular excretion. Surgical treatment for prostatic cysts primarily involves drainage, such as perineal incision drainage or transurethral prostatectomy drainage. The treatment of acute prostatitis includes stabilizing the overall condition and local therapy.
