Patient's question:
When my father was urinating, his testicles would hurt, and he also experienced frequent urination, difficulty urinating, thin urine stream, excessive residual urine, and urinary retention. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor said this was a severe symptom of a prostate cyst. However, after a period of treatment, my father's condition has improved.Doctor's answer:
Prostatic sinuses (diverticula) and prostatic cysts exhibit similar symptoms. However, there are differences: symptoms reappear early in infants and young children, as well as during puberty; they are often associated with congenital abnormalities such as hypospadias, cryptorchidism, and pseudohermaphroditism; urethral contrast imaging can reveal connection to the posterior urethra, and fluid often flows from the urethral meatus during rectal palpation, making it prone to infection. Seek diagnosis from a formal hospital and pay attention to restricting sexual activity while maintaining a positive mood.
