Patient's question:
I am 38 years old and have been carefully diagnosed with prostate stones. I know that general stones can be shattered with laser and the shattered stones will be with urine. Hello, is laser treatment effective for prostate stones? How can laser treatment also be used for prostate stones?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if it is prostate stones, laser treatment may not be very effective, because the amount of fluid excreted by the prostate is relatively small, and it is difficult for stones to be expelled. For stones in the bladder or ureters, they can be broken down into smaller pieces through lithotripsy, which may then be passed out through urine. If the prostate stones are relatively large, minimally invasive surgery is generally required to remove them.
