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?

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.
