Patient's question:
I have always been very healthy, and I haven't had much sexual activity. Recently, I've experienced a significant increase in urine output, with a very strong urge to urinate. Sometimes it comes on very suddenly, and at times I even feel that the urine is slightly reddish. I've mentioned this to my friend, and he said it could be possible that I have prostate stones. What are the symptoms of prostate stones?Doctor's answer:
Frequent urination, especially urinating small amounts of urine, and avoiding symptoms such as red urine, may be caused by prostatic calculi leading to irritating skin irritation. Prostatic calculi can also cause symptoms like frequent urination, urgency, and pain during urination. Additionally, symptoms such as swelling and pain in the prostate area may occur. Further ultrasound examination is necessary for a precise diagnosis, and surgery may be required to remove the stones based on the examination results. For patients with prostatic calculi, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and pay attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
