What are the causes of prostate stones?

Patient's question:

I went to the hospital and found that my prostate seems to be getting worse. The doctor said I have prostate stones. I want to ask what are the causes of prostate stones and how to treat them?

Doctor's answer:

Prostatic calculi are formed in the prostatic acini, and their cause is still unclear. One theory suggests that the formation of calculi is due to inflammation of the prostatic acini and metabolic ducts, which causes the acini to expand and the prostatic ducts to narrow. When urine flows in, a large amount of salt deposits on the normal prostate tissue, forming prostatic stones. Generally, the problem is not serious. It is recommended to always maintain a relaxed mood, pay attention to rest, and drink more water. Taking a sufficient amount of oral traditional Chinese medicine decoction slowly is preferable.
