Patient's question:
What are the early symptoms of prostatic cysts? I'm not sure if I have this condition, but I've been feeling uncomfortable in my abdomen recently, and urination hasn't been as smooth as before. I mentioned this to my friend, and he said I might have a prostatic cyst. So, I wanted to ask you about the early symptoms of prostatic cysts.Doctor's answer:
Your suggestion is that you should go directly to the hospital for a digital rectal examination and a transrectal ultrasound to confirm whether it is a prostatic cyst. Prostatic cysts can lead to a reduction in the size of the prostate, compressing the posterior urethra and causing it to deform, narrow, and decrease urethral resistance. Subsequently, additional symptoms may reappear, such as frequent urination and hesitancy during urination. Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish from prostatitis or benign prostatic hyperplasia, so it is recommended that you go to the hospital for a thorough examination and do not delay, as this may worsen the condition.
