Causes of prostate cysts

I believe everyone knows the importance of the prostate to male friends. If there is a problem with the prostate of a male friend, it will not only lead to abnormal urination but also affect the life of the couple. Therefore, we suggest that male friends should pay attention to protecting their prostate. If some cysts appear in the prostate, we must pay attention to it. Let us look at the causes of prostate cysts below.

1. True prostatic cyst

The prostate gland is obstructed during embryonic development, causing the prostate ducts to narrow and become blocked. The contents gradually accumulate and form a retention prostate cyst.

2. Congenital cyst

The cyst is formed due to the abnormal development of the mesonephric duct and paramesonephric duct, and the partial expansion of the lumen. The cyst originating from the paramesonephric duct is often located in the middle of the back of the prostate, while the cyst originating from the mesonephric duct is 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 large size, compressing the bladder neck and causing dysuria, and compressing the rectum and causing anal distension and difficulty in defecation. Congenital prostatic cysts are often accompanied by congenital diseases such as hypospadias, cryptorchidism, and renal dysplasia.

3. Acquired cysts

It is caused by the tough prostatic stroma, which leads to incomplete or intermittent obstruction of the alveoli, gradually thickening the alveolar epithelium and eventually causing 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 cyst

Chronic prostatitis causes connective tissue hyperplasia, leading to stenosis of the prostate ducts 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, which gradually forms cysts.

Among the above types of cysts, retention prostatic cysts are the most common and can occur in any part of the gland.

In the above article, we introduced the importance of the prostate to male friends. Some male friends are prone to prostate cysts. The above article analyzes the causes of prostate cysts. I believe the information introduced above is helpful to everyone.
