Patient's question:
Detected with prostatic cystDoctor's answer:
Smaller and asymptomatic cysts generally do not require treatment unless they are complicated by infection. Dynamic observation of their changes is sufficient. Larger cysts or symptomatic small cysts can be treated surgically. There have been reports of cyst puncture and aspiration under ultrasound guidance, followed by the injection of a coagulant. However, due to incomplete or intermittent obstruction of the acini, even after such puncture and aspiration, cysts are still prone to recurrence due to local glandular secretion. Surgical treatment of prostatic cysts primarily involves drainage, such as perineal incision drainage or transurethral prostatectomy drainage. The treatment of acute prostatitis includes improvement of the overall condition and local therapy. The most important aspect is to perform radical treatment targeting the cause. Generally, the prognosis is good.
