Patient's question:
Patient: Male, 31 years old. Previous health status: Good. Current condition:1. 10 days ago, sudden lower abdominal pain;
2. The pain was dull-lasting for 2-3 hours and resolved spontaneously;
3. No fever, mild urinary urgency, frequency, or dysuria.
History of treatment and effectiveness:
1. After 7 days of intravenous treatment with levofloxacin and tinidazole, the condition improved.
2. Today, the pain suddenly worsened. A blood test at the city hospital showed normal neutrophils (76%) and other normal results. Urinalysis revealed leukocytes (+), red blood cells (+++). Ultrasound showed no issues with the kidneys or bladder, but a strong echo in the prostate, the size of a sesame seed. The doctor suggested it might be a stone and recommended trying to pass it.
Desired help:
1. I want to ask if it is definitely a stone or if other possibilities exist?
2. How can the treatment be effective because the pain is too severe?
3. What detailed diagnostic tests are recommended?
Doctor's answer:
Based on the careful examination results and symptoms you mentioned, the possibility of stones is quite high.Recommendation: If you're still not sure, you can have a thorough prostate ultrasound examination at a reputable Grade III-A hospital. According to your description, the stone size is small enough to be passed through natural methods, but it also depends on your individual constitution. You can discuss this with your primary physician and let them determine the most suitable treatment plan based on your condition.
For prostate patients, in addition to active treatment, it's important to maintain a positive mood in daily life. A good attitude is very helpful for the complete recovery of the disease. I hope the above information is helpful to you. Thank you!
