Patient's question:
Does a prostate cyst affect fertility?Doctor's answer:
Hello, prostatic cysts are most common in adults. Clinical manifestations include urinary obstruction or bowel obstruction, and urinary obstruction often leads to acute urinary retention. Sometimes, purulent secretions may be discharged from the urethra. Digital rectal examination can detect a fluctuating sensation in the prostate, but it often appears in later stages. Occasionally, abscesses may rupture into the urethra, rectum, perineum, or periurethral space, causing connective tissue inflammation. However, some patients may not have fever, with the main manifestation being lower urinary tract obstruction. Many patients also have epididymitis and orchitis. I recommend that your partner have their sperm quality checked. If the quality is not an issue, it won't be a major problem. There are many complications, so it is advisable to seek active treatment and not delay the condition.
