Doctor's answer:

Prostate Development and Growth Disorders
Prostatic gland development is impaired during embryonic development, leading to the narrowing of prostatic ducts, causing obstruction. The gradual retention of secretory contents evolves into retained prostatic cysts.
Chronic Prostate Inflammation
Chronic prostatitis induces fibrosis of connective tissue, which results in the narrowing of prostatic ducts and the retention of excretory substances, evolving into cysts. There are several conditions that can lead to prostatic cysts. Patients should consult a doctor at a formal hospital for advice and timely treatment to prevent the condition from worsening and causing other diseases.
For patients with prostatic cysts, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect fertility.
