Patient's question:
An ultrasound revealed a cyst in the prostate. What should I do according to the doctor?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to actively seek treatment. Treatment methods are generally divided into conservative treatment, which involves the use of antibiotics based on the results of urine or pus culture and drug sensitivity tests. For acute urinary retention or patients who have already had catheters inserted, suprapubic cystostomy should be adopted. For those with diabetes, blood sugar control and immune system enhancement are also necessary.Surgical treatment options include pus aspiration through puncture, incision and drainage, and transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). Surgical approaches include transrectal, perineal, and transurethral routes. Currently, most procedures are performed under transrectal ultrasound guidance, using prostate puncture and pus aspiration. This method not only clarifies the location, size, and number of abscesses but also allows for precise operation, irrigation of the abscess cavity, and antibiotic administration. Additionally, it causes minimal damage, can be repeated, and is easy to perform.
