I've just been told I have a small prostatic cyst that's about 6mm. Should I be worried about this? What's the typical treatment for something like this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A 6mm prostatic cyst is generally considered small and may not be a cause for concern, as 5-8% of men have small prostatic cysts. However, it's essential to monitor it, as larger cysts can cause complications like urinary tract infections, hematuria, and voiding dysfunction.
Treatment options vary depending on symptoms and cyst size. Small, asymptomatic cysts may not require treatment, while larger or symptomatic cysts may need surgical excision, transurethral cyst catheterization, or other non-surgical interventions.

I have an 8mm left mid pole kidney stone and really want to avoid surgery. Can medicines like potrate mb6 dissolve it or are there other alternatives that might work?
An 8mm kidney stone is quite large to dissolve with medications like Potrate MB6, which mainly help with pain and supporting kidney function but don’t dissolve stones. Usually, stones over 6mm often require intervention like shock wave lithotripsy or minimally invasive procedures. Please consult a urologist to discuss the best non-surgical or surgical options based on your condition.

I'm experiencing this dragging sensation on the left side of my testicle and the color Doppler test showed I have a grade IV extra testicular varicocele on that side. My doctor mentioned surgery as the only solution, but I'm wondering if there might be any other treatments available. Could you offer some advice or alternatives?
While surgery is often recommended for high-grade varicoceles like Grade IV, alternative treatments may include embolization, a minimally invasive procedure to block blood flow to the varicocele, or sclerotherapy, injecting a solution to shrink the varicocele; however, consult your doctor or a urologist to discuss these options and determine the best course of treatment for your specific case.
