Patient's question:
I am 45 years old this year, and I have been experiencing pain when urinating recently. My colleague said he has prostate stones, which also have this symptom. I want to know what the cause of prostate stones is?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the main cause of prostate stones is a previous inflammation in the prostate. After the inflammation changes, local calcium deposits occur, leading to the formation of stones. If a patient with prostate stones does not have any other diseases, the symptoms of prostate stones will be manifested as calcification of the prostate shown in imaging studies such as ultrasound or CT. If the prostate stones do not accompany any clinical symptoms, this condition can be observed without treatment.
