Patient's question:
Main symptoms: Prostate small cyst Onset time: 3 days ago Test results: Prostate small cystDoctor's answer:
Prostatic cysts are more common in adults, with clinical manifestations including urinary obstruction or bowel obstruction. 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, although this is often not apparent until later stages. Occasionally, abscesses may rupture into the urethra, rectum, perineum, or surrounding spaces of the bladder, causing connective tissue inflammation. However, some patients may not have fever, with the main symptom being lower urinary tract obstruction. Many patients also have epididymitis or orchitis. It is recommended to first conduct a test for urethral secretions and prostatic fluid, typically a bacterial culture to identify the type of bacteria. If the cyst is small, targeted antibiotic use can lead to recovery. If the cyst enlarges, surgery may be necessary. Generally, cyst enlargement is rare after appropriate antibiotic use. Lifestyle recommendations include rest, drinking plenty of plain water, maintaining perineal hygiene, changing underwear frequently, avoiding jeans, and keeping the perineal area dry.
