Patient's question:
Hello expert, I am a patient with a prostatic cystDoctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, if you have a prostatic cyst, it is recommended that you go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment. The harm of a prostatic cyst is significant, and relying solely on medication will not be very effective. Detailed examination in the hospital to identify the cause and targeted treatment can achieve twice the result with half the effort. Additionally, it is better to wait until full recovery before resuming sexual activity to avoid exacerbating inflammation due to sexual stimulation. Surgical treatment has more disadvantages than advantages and may lead to serious consequences for patients, such as partial or complete loss of sexual and reproductive functions. There are four methods for prostatectomy: transurethral, suprapubic bladder, perineal, and retropubic. Transurethral resection is often performed under endoscopy, so it does not affect the nerves controlling erection, and postoperative impotence is rare, with statistics showing only 5%. However, due to damage to the bladder internal sphincter, 90% of patients may experience retrograde ejaculation. Suprapubic transvesical surgery results in retrograde ejaculation in most patients (approximately 75%–80%), but impotence occurs in only 10%–20%. Perineal resection has a high incidence of impotence (40%–50%); if used for radical treatment of prostate cancer via perineal prostatectomy, the incidence of impotence reaches over 98%, as the area resected is relatively extensive and may damage the nerves controlling erection. I hope my answer is helpful to you. High-quality hospitals in Jinan include: Jinan Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, Jinan No. 1 People's Hospital, and Shandong Provincial Communications Hospital.
