Patient's question:
Hello doctor, can prostatic calculi grow inside the glans?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calculi are true stones formed within the acini and ducts of the prostate gland. They can be as small as millet grains or as large as peas, and may appear round, oval, or polyhedral. The number can range from a single stone to hundreds. They are typically brownish-yellow, dark brown, or black in color. Small calculi are often smooth, while larger or more prone stones may occupy the entire lumen of the gland, being hard in texture. The prostate is connected to the urethra, so it is possible for the calculi to enter the urethra and reach the glans penis. It is recommended that you visit a hospital to get imaging tests done for diagnosis and then seek early treatment. I hope my explanation is helpful to you.
