Patient's question:
I have been experiencing an increase in the frequency of urination every day for several months. Additionally, every time I go to the toilet to urinate, I find it difficult to empty my bladder, and it is extremely painful. Therefore, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor told me that I have prostatic calculi. I would like to ask, am I currently experiencing symptoms of prostatic calculi?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calculi may be accompanied by prostatitis, leading to symptoms such as frequent urination, urinary urgency, terminal hematuria, and difficulty urinating. Prostatic calculi can be treated surgically, including minimally invasive surgery. While undergoing medication-based treatment, it is essential to maintain cleanliness and hygiene, drink plenty of water, and follow a diet that is light and nutritious, avoiding spicy and irritating foods. For patients with prostatic calculi, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If left untreated, it may affect fertility.
