Does a prostate cyst heal on its own?

Patient's question:

Yesterday I had a health check-up and found a small prostatic cyst. I haven't felt any other discomforts. The doctor said it's not necessary to worry for now and to focus on careful observation. Doctor, if I don't take medication or have surgery, will the prostatic cyst heal on its own?

Doctor's answer:

After watching your explanation, prostatic cysts generally never heal on their own. Only small prostatic cysts that do not interfere with daily life or cause infection can be left untreated. Since there is no need to interfere at this stage, there is no need to necessarily treat or resolve it. Just monitor it carefully. If the cyst decreases in size or causes infection, timely treatment is required. Maintain good daily habits, quit smoking and drinking, drink more water, avoid holding urine, and eat more fruits and vegetables.
