Patient's question:
Two years ago, my uncle carefully discovered he had prostate stones. After taking medication, he gradually felt less discomfort and didn't pay much attention to it. However, recently he has been experiencing recurring pain and other symptoms, so he wants to understand whether prostate stones can be passed out.Doctor's answer:
In clinical diagnosis, prostatic calculi do not require treatment with antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs. It is difficult to rule out the possibility of surgical removal through extracorporeal procedures or minimally invasive interventions for larger prostatic calculi. It is recommended that patients with prostatic calculi seek timely treatment to prevent the occurrence of diseases affecting adjacent organs of the prostate, such as premature ejaculation, seminal vesiculitis, orchitis, and epididymitis. These conditions may also interfere with male sexual dysfunction, potentially leading to issues such as premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, nocturnal emissions, and impaired ejaculation. When patients face the risks of prostate complications, we should promptly adhere to the principle of symptomatic treatment and avoid delaying medical consultation. If the prostate condition does not improve with treatment, it is essential to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
