Abstract

Obstructive lower urinary tract symptoms in young men can occasionally be attributed to rare intra-prostatic cystic lesions. This case reports a 27-year-old man presenting with sudden onset voiding difficulty, diagnosed with a midline prostatic cyst at the anterior bladder neck, a rare location. The cyst was successfully treated with bipolar transurethral endoscopic resection, resulting in the resolution of urinary symptoms without retrograde ejaculation which is a common complication that is a central concern in the literature regarding the choice of surgical modality.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.
