Patient's question:
My father has been experiencing frequent urination, urgency, difficulty urinating, thin urine stream, and urinary retention since last week. Today, after a thorough examination at the hospital, he was diagnosed with a prostatic cyst. I would like to consult about what a prostatic cyst is and how this condition should be treated.Doctor's answer:
Prostate cysts are primarily caused by the repeated impact of chronic prostatitis, leading to the recurrence of cyst formation. Therefore, the main treatment method still requires the use of anti-inflammatory drugs to control the condition of prostatitis, while also using many blood-activating drugs to promote the disappearance of cysts. It is best to use many traditional Chinese medicines for treatment, as this can yield better results. Regular follow-up examinations should be conducted, and surgical treatment should be performed when necessary.
