3. How to treat prostate cysts

Drug therapy

Antipyretics and analgesics should be given, either orally or by intramuscular injection. Select sensitive antibiotics based on the results of bacterial culture. For obvious urinary pain, antiseptics such as bromocriptine, probenfen, and uroling can be used.

Acupuncture

The treatment of prostate cysts is relatively simple. Through the anus, a long needle is inserted into the pus cavity, and a syringe is used to aspirate until the pus is completely sucked out. Sometimes it will not completely disappear in one time, and two or more times are needed.

Drainage treatment

If the abscess is large and contains a lot of pus, it is best to perform abscess incision and drainage. Use an anorectoscope to expose the prostate area, use a sharp knife to cut the rectal wall into the abscess, drain the pus and place a drainage tube. Depending on the drainage situation and combined with examination, the time to remove the drainage tube can be determined. Antibiotics are still needed for treatment.
