What is prostate cyst?

1. True prostatic cyst

The prostate gland is obstructed during embryonic development, causing narrowing of the prostate duct, resulting in blockage, and the contents are gradually retained, so it is a retention prostate cyst.

2. Congenital cyst

It is caused by abnormal development of the mesonephric duct and paramesonephric duct, and partial expansion of the lumen, resulting in the formation of cysts. Cysts arising from the paramesonephric ducts are often located in the middle of the posterior prostate, while cysts arising from the mesonephric ducts are located on both sides. This type of cyst does not actually originate from the prostate and is often adhered to the posterior wall of the bladder. It can often grow to a very large size, compressing the bladder neck and causing difficulty in urination, and compressing the rectum and causing a feeling of heaviness in the anus and difficulty in defecation. Congenital prostatic cysts are often accompanied by congenital diseases such as hypospadias, cryptorchidism, and renal dysgenesis.

3. Acquired cysts

It is caused by the tough prostatic stroma leading to incomplete or intermittent obstruction of the alveoli, which gradually thickens the alveolar epithelium and eventually leads to retention cysts. They can be located anywhere in the prostate or protrude to the bladder neck, with a diameter of 1 to 2 cm.

4. Inflammatory cysts

It is caused by chronic inflammation of the prostate, which causes connective tissue hyperplasia, leading to stenosis of the prostate duct and retention of secretions to form cysts.

5. Parasitic cysts

Caused by parasites, such as hydatid cysts, which can cause chronic inflammation of the prostate duct and surrounding areas; or by granulation hyperplasia, gradually forming cysts.

The above is a detailed introduction to what prostate cysts are. When it comes to improving prostate cysts, medication is the best choice. However, depending on the different conditions of men, the treatment methods will also change. Therefore, when treating this type of disease, you must follow the doctor's advice. This is also something to pay attention to.
