Patient's question:
I have been experiencing some thinning of the urine stream since three or four months ago. Recently, urination has become increasingly difficult, and it hurts when I hold it in. The hospital said it's prostatic calculus. But isn't it said that if you have calculus, you just need to drink more water? If I drink more water without treatment, can prostatic calculus heal on its own?Doctor's answer:
After watching your explanation, first, drinking water to pass stones refers to kidney stones, not prostate stones, which are different conditions. Prostate stones will never heal on their own; they only soften, so it's important to seek treatment promptly. Currently, surgical treatment is the primary approach for prostate stones. In addition, there is now a non-invasive extracorporeal stone removal technology. You have already experienced post-urethral symptoms again, so it's important to seek timely treatment.
