Patient's question:
My husband has been frequently going to the bathroom lately, and he also goes to bed to sleep more often at night. I made him go to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said he suffers from a prostatic cyst. Will a prostatic cyst interfere with conception?Doctor's answer:
Prostate cysts generally do not interfere with fertility. When the size of a prostate cyst decreases, it may cause symptoms such as pressure on the urethra, leading to frequent urination, urgency, and incomplete urination. If the immune system is compromised, urinary tract infections may also occur. Without timely treatment, it may lead to infections in the male reproductive tract and accessory glands. Prostate cysts can be treated through cyst puncture or surgery. It is advisable to avoid alcohol and caffeine intake and refrain from sexual activity for a period of time during cold exposure.
