Patient's question:
Dad is 52 years old this year. Recently, he often goes to the bathroom, and I thought he had a stomachache (because he has chronic gastritis due to long-term beer drinking). After asking him a few times, he said it was urination. The hospital said it was similar to a prostatic cyst and scheduled relevant tests. I'd like to understand the symptoms of a prostatic cyst a bit earlier.Doctor's answer:
Prostatic cysts are generally congenital, small in size, and do not interfere with survival, so they can be left untreated. If the cyst is large and symptoms such as frequent urination, difficulty urinating, or incomplete urination reappear, it may press on the urethra. Considering your situation, your father may also have conditions such as benign prostatic hyperplasia. It is recommended to follow the doctor's advice. Relax your mind and maintain a calm attitude. Keep your emotions stable and avoid excessive emotional fluctuations.
