I've got a cyst in my prostate that's filled with clear fluid, and it's about 7cc in volume. I'm wondering if there's a way for it to go away with medication or if the only option is to have it removed. I'm also having trouble emptying my bladder completely in one go, but thankfully there's no pain. Can you give me some advice on what I should do next?

A clear fluid cyst in the prostate may not always require treatment if it is not causing any symptoms. However, if you are experiencing difficulty emptying your bladder, it is important to address this issue. Medications such as alpha-blockers like Tamsulosin can help relax the muscles in the prostate and bladder neck, making it easier to urinate. Additionally, antibiotics may be prescribed if there is an infection present. If the cyst is causing significant symptoms and does not improve with medication, surgical removal of the cyst may be considered. It is best to consult with a urologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.

I'm 25 and I've never masturbated before. I'm wondering if this is normal and if it might lead to any sexual or prostate issues in the future. Also, what would be a healthy frequency for masturbation?

It's completely okay if you haven't masturbated; there's no right or wrong when it comes to personal habits. Not masturbating will not cause sexual or prostate issues in the future. The ideal frequency varies for each person, but the key is whether it feels comfortable and healthy for you. If you ever have concerns about sexual health, it's a good idea to consult a healthcare professional.
