*4.2.2 Clinical findings*

The symptoms are dependent on the disease. Many small intraprostatic cysts are asymptomatic in dogs until the enlarged gland causes problems. Intraprostatic cysts frequently occur in the course of BPH and prostatitis; later on, they can cause enlarged abdomen, abdominal pain, decreased well-being, and in case of rupture or secondary infection, an acute abdomen, and sepsis.
