Patient's question:
How to distinguish between prostatic calculi and urethral calculi in the prostate region in clinical diagnosis?Doctor's answer:
The prostate itself is an organ tissue. Prostate stones refer to the recurrence of stones within the prostate gland. Prostate urethral stones are a type of urethral stone. Since the prostate is located at the lower back of the urethra, it consists of two chestnut-sized tissues, while the urethra is a narrow and long tube. The prostate is situated in the adjacent area to its middle section of the urethra. Therefore, this refers to the discovery of stones in a segment of the urethra located at the prostate area.If there are stones inside the urethra, symptoms such as urine splitting, incomplete urination, and poor flow may occur during urination, and these symptoms are relatively obvious. Prostate stones may also cause urination difficulties, but these symptoms are usually not very pronounced, or may not even appear at all.
