Prostate cysts do not affect sexual life. If the prostate cyst is relatively small, it has no impact on the body and may not require treatment, as it shows no symptoms. However, if the cyst is large, it may compress the urethra, resulting in difficulty urinating, frequent urination, urgency, hesitancy, incomplete bladder emptying, and even acute urinary retention. Sometimes, a large prostate cyst may also compress the rectum, causing difficulty in defecation. If the cyst is large and causes a series of compressive symptoms, surgical treatment may be considered. The surgery generally involves a transurethral resection of the prostate cyst, which is a minimally invasive surgery and also has no impact on the body.
