Patient's question:
For a while, I've been experiencing pain in the lower left abdomen and lower abdomen, accompanied by a sense of urinary fullness and pain. An ultrasound examination revealed a prostate size of 5.1x3.2x2.8cm, protruding into the bladder by 0.8cm. Inside, there were strong echo points measuring 0.5x0.3cm accompanied by a shadow. The diagnostic opinion was: 1. Enlarged prostate. 2. Prostate stones. However, the doctor mentioned that if it were a bladder stone, what would be the situation? How should it be treated? I hope to receive some help! Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Prostate 5.1x3.2x2.8cm enlargement.Prostate hyperplasia in the elderly is prone to cause obstruction, leading to calculus formation.
Suggestions: The general approach for such stones is to remove them and prevent their recurrence. This recommendation should be confirmed after actual examination. First, it is necessary to rule out whether the stone is primary or if it originated from the kidney or ureter. As most people know, prostate stones can cause significant harm to men, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, dietary issues should be paid attention to, avoiding irritating foods and maintaining a balanced diet. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary when needed.
