Patient's question:
I have had urinary retention for four or five years. I had an ultrasound at the hospital, and there were no problems with my prostate. However, there was a cystic dark area measuring 6.8mm, and the doctor said it was a prostate cyst. I want to ask what a prostate cyst is?Doctor's answer:
After watching your explanation, a prostatic cyst, if congenital, is a remnant of the distal end of the Müllerian duct during human development, which fails to atrophy during embryonic growth and development. Small, asymptomatic cysts can be left untreated. If symptoms of compression reappear, cyst puncture anesthesia treatment can be administered. In severe cases, surgical removal is necessary. If the cyst is caused by other reasons, such as a prostatic abscess, timely treatment is required.
