Patient's question:
I came back to the urology department due to difficulty urinating. After asking, they gave me a cystoscopy for a thorough examination. The result said I have a prostatic cyst. I want to ask what should be done about the prostatic cyst?Doctor's answer:
After the volume of the prostate cyst decreases, it may compress the posterior urethra, causing additional compression symptoms such as difficulty urinating, frequent urination, hesitancy, and incomplete urination. If the prostate cyst is caused by infection, active anti-infection treatment is required. Conduct culture and drug sensitivity tests to determine the sensitive antibiotics based on the test results. If the treatment is not effective or the prostate cyst is not caused by infection, cyst fluid can be aspirated and medication can be injected for treatment. If the prostate cyst recurs frequently or the treatment is not effective, surgical removal may be necessary if required. It is recommended to maintain a light diet and avoid overwork to reduce pressure on the prostate and alleviate symptoms.
