Can prostate cysts heal on their own?

Prostatic cyst is a very common male disease. It can cause great harm to the human body. Severe cases may cause difficulty in urination for men. Prostatic cyst will not heal on its own. Patients must receive timely treatment, otherwise it will not only worsen the condition but may also affect future fertility. Prostatic cyst is prone to recurring, so everyone must be patient during treatment.

What are the measures to prevent prostate cysts?

1. Prevent cold: From late autumn to early spring, the weather is unpredictable, and cold weather often makes the condition worse. Therefore, it is important to understand the prevention methods of prostate cysts. Patients must pay attention to cold prevention, colds and upper respiratory tract infections.

2. Drink water in moderation: Drinking too little water will not only cause dehydration, but also hinder the flushing effect of urination on the urinary tract, and easily lead to urine concentration and the formation of insoluble stones. Therefore, it is appropriate to reduce water intake at night to avoid excessive bladder filling after sleeping, and drink more water during the day.

3. Massage the lower abdomen: Massage the lower abdomen and press the Qihai, Guanyuan and other acupoints under the umbilicus to restore bladder function. A little pressure massage after urination can promote bladder emptying and reduce residual fluid. It is worth reminding that this disease develops slowly and has a long course. If it can be prevented from middle age, the effect will be better. In addition to taking the above measures, you should also prevent excessive sexual life, especially be vigilant against interrupted sexual intercourse and masturbation.

4. Eat less spicy food: Spicy and irritating food can not only cause congestion of sexual organs, but also aggravate the symptoms of hemorrhoids and constipation, compress the prostate, and aggravate urination difficulties.

5. Avoid sitting for long periods of time: Sitting for long periods of time can aggravate diseases such as hemorrhoids, and can easily cause congestion in the perineum, leading to difficulty urinating. Regular participation in cultural and sports activities and qigong exercises can help alleviate symptoms.

6. Do not hold urine: Holding urine will cause the bladder to be overfilled, weaken the tension of the bladder detrusor muscle, make urination difficult, and easily induce acute urinary retention. Therefore, you must urinate as soon as you have to.

What are the dangers of prostate cysts?

1. When the cyst is large, rectal digital examination can touch the cyst in the prostate. Urethral angiography can show arc-shaped pressure marks in the posterior urethra. Ultrasound and CT can clearly determine its location. Large cysts can cause urinary obstruction symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, difficulty urinating, and residual urine. Rectal digital examination can touch prostate cystic tumors.

2. Prostatic cysts may be complicated by infection and stones. Larger cysts may compress the urethra and cause dysuria. Common symptoms include urgency, frequency, difficulty urinating, thin urine stream, and urine retention.

3. Prostatic cysts sometimes cause thick secretions to flow out of the urethra, and rectal examination may feel the prostate fluctuating, but this usually occurs in the later stages.

4. Occasionally, abscesses may break into the urethra, rectum, perineum or space around the bladder, causing connective tissue inflammation. However, some patients may not have fever, and the main hazard is lower urinary tract obstruction. Many patients also have epididymitis and testitis.
