Patient's question:
I was diagnosed with prostatic calculus about 20x6mm back in 2018. During a 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 magnetic resonance imaging 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, and if not treated promptly, it may cause many disturbances to you. At this time, it is recommended that you use extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy or surgical stone removal methods for treatment.
