Patient's question:
I am already a manager in the company, and to others, I am considered successful in my career. However, recently I have been feeling uncomfortable, and my wife insists that I go to the hospital for a thorough examination. Lately, I haven't known how to urinate as often as before, and it has become much more difficult than usual. The hospital said I have a prostatic cyst.Doctor's answer:
Prostatic cysts can be transmitted through second-order neurons and stones. Larger cysts can compress the urethra, leading to difficulty in urination. Common symptoms include urgency, frequency, difficulty urinating, thin urine stream, and urinary retention. Congenital prostatic cysts are often associated with other congenital diseases such as hypospadias, cryptorchidism, and renal agenesis. When the cyst is large, digital rectal examination can detect the cyst in contact with the prostate, urethral contrast reveals an arcuate impression in the posterior urethra, and MRI and CT can clearly determine its location. Smaller, asymptomatic cysts may not require treatment, while larger cysts or symptomatic small cysts can be treated surgically. There have been reports of cyst puncture and aspiration under ultrasound guidance, followed by the instillation of a coagulant, but this method is prone to recurrence. Prostatic cyst conditions are prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, and to pay attention to personal hygiene.
