Patient's question:
I gave my father a thorough examination and found that he has prostate stones, but he doesn't have any symptoms himself. What are the causes of prostate stones?Doctor's answer:
I have watched your explanation. Currently, it is believed that prostate stones are caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia leading to duct obstruction. They can be exogenous or endogenous, such as originating from prostatic fluid and urine. If the stones are small, the symptoms are not severe, and the urethral stricture is not serious, medication can be used for treatment, such as oral antibiotics and warm water sitz baths for physical therapy, to control the condition and alleviate symptoms. If the infection is severe or significantly interferes with quality of life, surgical treatment may be required, including minimally invasive surgery or non-invasive surgery. Therefore, it is recommended that your father go to a regular hospital's urology department or andrology department for additional examinations and tests, and receive appropriate treatment.
