Patient's question:
The day before yesterday, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and found a 12mmx8mm prostatic cyst. Currently, there are no serious symptoms. Do I need surgical treatment? Can Chinese medicine completely eliminate the cyst? If surgery is necessary, is the transurethral resection less harmful to the body? I see that the surgery is through the urethra, so will I experience difficulty urinating again in the future? Can the cyst be removed directly from the affected area without going through the urethra? What kind of assistance I need: I want to understand whether surgery is necessary in the current situation and which surgical method is less damaging.Doctor's answer:
Hello! Your bill payment suggestion adopts conservative treatment. Prostate cysts can be treated through a combination of medication and physical therapy. Prostate resection surgery is not suitable for men in your age group; it is usually recommended for those over 60, especially for men who experience recurrent prostate hyperplasia, enlargement, cysts, or cancer without sexual activity. It is advised that you seek treatment at a professional hospital and follow medical advice. For patients with prostate cysts, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should receive targeted treatment promptly and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
