Patient's question:
I have recently been feeling discomfort all the time, and my wife also insists that I go to the hospital for a thorough examination. Recently, I don't know how many times I have been using the restroom has significantly increased, and it is much more difficult than before. The hospital said I have a prostatic cyst. What kind of help do you need: How should prostatic cysts be treated?Doctor's answer:
Smaller, asymptomatic cysts may not require treatment. Larger cysts or symptomatic small cysts can be treated surgically, with approaches including transurethral, extravesical, and perineal routes. Poor exposure often leads to incomplete cyst removal during surgery, resulting in a high recurrence rate and frequent complications. If the cyst is near the perineum, perineal approach surgery is recommended, as it may cause erectile dysfunction (ED) in young patients. If the cyst is near the urethra or bladder, transurethral surgery or transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) can be used to remove most of the cyst's top portion, ensuring adequate drainage.
