A member asked:

Ct scan shows 6mm simple anchoic cyst in my prostate gland , is that a surgical level?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Ct scans are a poor diagnostic imaging study of the prostate gland in general, and most urologists do not base major treatment decisions on it. Small cysts in the prostate gland are common, and usually benign.
