Patient's question:
I recently underwent a thorough examination because I could clearly feel some difficulty in urination, accompanied by symptoms of frequent urination and urgency. The examination revealed a diagnosis of prostatic cyst. The doctor said that if it is not treated promptly, it may lead to conditions such as stones. Therefore, I am preparing for surgery. How painful is the surgery for prostatic cyst?Doctor's answer:
If you want to have surgery for a prostatic cyst, you will generally be given anesthesia. With anesthesia, there won't be much pain. For symptoms like frequent urination and urgency, you should also consider whether you might have urethritis, because urinary tract infections usually lead to symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and pain. If you have urethritis, you may also need to take some anti-inflammatory medication. Prostatic cyst conditions tend to recur, so long-term medication is usually required.
