Patient's question:
I used to suffer from prostatitis, but it has been cured. My recent prostate fluid tests were all normal. Lately, I have been feeling a bloated sensation in my rectum. The ultrasound showed that the size of my prostate is 40 and the echoes are uneven. The doctor said there is a problem and prescribed medication for me. After taking it for a week, there has been no improvement at all. What kind of help do I need: Can prostatic cysts be completely cured on their own?Doctor's answer:
Speculation: Prostate cysts are thought to be caused by cystic changes that recur due to congenital or acquired reasons in the prostate gland. Congenital cysts result from incomplete atrophy of the (Wolffian ducts), which fuse at the midline and form a deep diverticulum or cyst inferior to the bladder, opening posterior to the prostate urethra. Acquired cysts are caused by fibrous prostate stroma leading to incomplete or intermittent obstruction of the acini, gradually thickening the acinar epithelium until a retention cyst forms. These cysts can be located anywhere within the prostate or extend to the weak area at the bladder neck, with a diameter of 1 to 2 centimeters.
