Patient's question:
I was diagnosed with prostatic calculus about 20x6mm back in 2018. During my recent follow-up examination, it seems to have grown again. Is a prostatic calculus of this size considered large?Doctor's answer:
Most patients will use MRI for a thorough examination. If it is a urinary system stone, the examination report will contain unit values. If the examination results truly indicate that the stone has reached a diameter of two centimeters, this is relatively large. If not treated in a timely manner, it may cause many disturbances to you. At this time, it is recommended to use extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy or surgical stone removal for treatment.
