Patient's question:
When I went to the toilet recently, I always felt a bit of pain in my prostate. At first, I could still bear it, but now the pain is getting worse. Sometimes, if I accidentally touched that area, it would also hurt. The doctor said it's because I have a prostatic cyst. How big does a prostatic cyst need to be to require surgery?Doctor's answer:
Prostate cyst is a benign inflammation, and most of them do not require surgical treatment. Whether or not surgery is needed for a prostate cyst generally determines the effectiveness of treatment, and it is not solely based on the size of the prostate cyst. Some smaller cysts with symptoms also need to be surgically treated. In other words, whether the cyst is large or small, if it affects fertility or the urinary system, and if there is no significant improvement after treatment, surgical treatment is generally required.
