Patient's question:
How many types can prostatic cysts be divided into?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic cysts are cystic changes that occur in the prostate gland due to congenital or acquired reasons. Congenital cysts result from incomplete regression of the, which fuse at the midline and form a deep diverticulum or cyst beneath the bladder, opening posteriorly into the prostatic urethra. Acquired cysts are caused by the rigidity of the prostatic stroma leading to incomplete or intermittent obstruction of the acini, gradually thickening the acinar epithelium and ultimately resulting in retention cysts. These cysts can be located anywhere within the prostate or protrude into the bladder neck, with a diameter of 1 to 2 centimeters.
