Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing severe lower abdominal pain, and the pain also occurs during urination. Sometimes, the amount of urine passed is relatively small. After going to the hospital for a thorough examination, I found out that I have prostatic calculi. In the past few days, my wife has been working and has returned home. She wants to have sexual intercourse, but I don't know if prostatic calculi affect sexual life.Doctor's answer:
If there are stones in the prostate, it may lead to prostate hyperplasia, seminal vesicle obstruction, etc. In this case, it can affect sexual life, mainly impacting the ejaculation process. Generally, prostate stones are relatively rare because the prostate area is the widest part of the urethra, making it less likely for stones to get stuck. They usually ascend to the narrow areas of the urethra. It is recommended to use an ureteroscope to remove the stones.Prostate stones can be alleviated, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, it is advisable to adopt a healthy lifestyle and maintain a proper diet during the treatment period. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
