Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing severe pain in my lower abdomen, and the pain also recurs during urination. Sometimes, the amount of urine passed is relatively small. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor said it was prostatic calculi. In the past few days, my wife has been working and wants to engage in sexual activity, but I don't know if prostatic calculi interfere with sexual life.Doctor's answer:
If there are stones in the prostate, it may lead to symptoms such as benign prostatic hyperplasia and seminal vesicle obstruction. In this case, it can cause significant interference with sexual life, primarily affecting the process of ejaculation. 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 travel up to the narrower parts of the urethra. It is recommended to use an ureteroscope to remove the stones. People with prostate stones are prone to sexual dysfunction, such as painful intercourse, low libido, premature ejaculation, delayed ejaculation, and nocturnal emissions. In addition, some may experience anejaculation and hematospermia.
