An analysis of congenital and acquired prostate cyst

 

The severity of clinical symptoms relates to size of the cyst. With the increase of the cyst fluid, part of the prostate or the entire gland are swollen. Then pressure is added to rectum and urethra, which causes defecation and voiding dysfunction. However, it is not difficult to insert the catheter into the bladder. Prostate cyst is caused by the prostate ducts or duct occlusion formed by the piling up of prostate secretions. 

 

Commonly, prostate cyst is the variation that is caused by factors that are congenital or acquired. 

 

1. Inflammatory prostate cyst: chronic inflammation in prostate can give rise to connective tissue proliferation, which causes prostate duct stenosis, and then secretion retention gradually forms cyst.     

 

2. Parasitic prostate cyst: Parasitic prostate cyst is caused by parasite. For instance, hydatid, which can lead to chronic inflammation in prostate tube and its surrounding tissues, and granulation which can bring about enlargement both are factors that can cause parasitic prostate cyst. 

 

3. True prostate cyst：Prostate gland is impeded in embryonic development period, in a result, prostatic duct is strait, thus, obstruction occurs. 

 

4. Congenital prostatic cyst：Abnormal growth of heteroplasia mesonephric duct and paramesonephric duct can create expansion in lumen. Cyst which is from mesonephric duct always lies behind the middle of the prostate gland, while cyst which is from paramesonephric duct lies in both sides. In fact, this kind of cyst is not prostate, but the bladder sidewall. In this case, the cyst can extend to very large size, then squeeze the bladder neck and rectum. Followed by symptoms of dysuria, difficulty in defecation, swelling pain in anus. Apart from that, congenital prostate cyst is always inseparable with congenital diseases, such as hypospadias, cryptorchidism, renal hypoplasia, etc.  

 

Acquired prostate cyst：Tough prostate stromal brings about incomplete or intermittent obstruction of the acinar. In this situation, alveolar epithelial thickens step by step, which finally induces retention cysts. Its diameter can reach two centimeters.

 

Symptoms listed above are all based on congenital and acquired prostate cyst. Also, those symptoms can appear on any part of prostate gland. When patients who are about to accept the treatment, you should select reliable mode of treatment.
