Can cyst cause prostatitis?

Some cysts are primarily prostatic glandular in origin and are acquired later in life. Most lateral prostatic cysts are related to chronic prostatitis. 2,3 Symptomatic prostatic cysts are a cause of chronic pelvic pain, upper or lower urinary tract infection (UTI), infertility, hemospermia and, rarely, malignancy.

How do you treat Utricle cyst?

Treatment is recommended only for symptomatic lesions [9]. Procedure options are transperineal or transrectal aspiration, endoscopic section of the utricle meatus and transurethral marsupialization, and open surgery.

What causes cyst in prostate?

According to Mou et al, the etiological factors of prostatic cysts include inflammatory disease, benign prostatic hyperplasia, ejaculatory duct obstruction, atrophy of the prostate gland, and tumor. And the clinical manifestations depend on the size of the cyst.

Does prostate cyst cause infertility?

Congenital cysts in the midline of the prostate gland can cause obstruction of the ejaculatory ducts leading to congestion and dilation of the seminal vesicles with the result of small volume ejaculate or infertility.

How to diagnose a prostatic utricle cyst?

The diagnosis is essentially based on imaging. On VCUG and RGU, prostatic utricle cyst is diagnosed when spontaneous opacification of a diverticulum arising from the prostatic urethra is seen.4 On ultrasonography, a well-defined midline cystic lesion is seen posterior to the urinary bladder.

Which is true about the true incidence of utricle cysts?

Utricle is embryological remnant arising from Müllerian duct or decreased androgenic stimulation of the urogenital sinus; true incidence of prostatic utricle is not known, but present in 14% with proximal hypospadias and 57% with perineal hypospadias Utricle cysts are usually between bladder and rectum, with cyst orifice at prostatic urethra

Can a utricle cyst cause an urinary tract infection?

Utricle cysts are usually between bladder and rectum, with cyst orifice at prostatic urethra Usually asymptomatic, but enlarged cysts may cause urinary tract infections, epididymitis and bladder outlet obstruction Associated with abnormal external genitalia in 25%, unilateral renal agenesis / dysgenesis in 10%

Are there any cysts that do not communicate with the urethra?

Müllerian duct cysts do not communicate with the urethra. Müllerian duct cysts are not associated with other abnormalities (utricle cysts are associated with a variety of genitourinary abnormalities). These are seen on pelvic MRI or ultrasound as midline cystic lesions in the prostate that do not communicate with the urethra.
