Patient's question:
I have had prostatic calculi for a year. It was detected during a physical examination. Before, it was relatively mild, and the doctor advised me to drink more water. Now, it often causes lower waist pain and discomfort. I don't know if it has become serious. Could you please ask the doctor about the methods available for treating prostatic calculi?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Patients with prostate stones need to undergo regular X-ray follow-up to monitor changes in stone size. For those with combined prostatic hyperplasia, transurethral resection of the prostate can be performed, along with as much stone removal as possible. If necessary, open surgery may be required to remove the stones or the entire prostate. Generally, if prostate stones worsen, surgical stone removal is recommended.
