Patient's question:
How to deal with prostatic cystDoctor's answer:
Prostate cysts are similar to kidney cysts. If the cysts grow very large and suppress kidney tissue, causing gradual decline in kidney function, measures must be taken. The cysts are usually filled with liquid. Sometimes, under the guidance of ultrasound, a drainage pump may be used, or surgery may be performed to remove the cyst. If the prostate cyst is very small, it generally does not cause significant issues. However, if it grows larger, measures should still be taken. Cysts usually grow very slowly and do not require special solutions or specific treatments. If the cyst shrinks, follow-up examinations should be conducted every year or once a year to monitor the size of the lump and any changes. This is sufficient. Generally, if the cyst does not affect prostate function, no special measures are needed.
