Patient's question:
On December 10, symptoms appeared, with small red spots under the pubic hair at the base of the penis, dry scaly skin, and itching. On the 12th, I went to Shanghai Jiulong Urology Hospital for a consultation. A bacterial smear test and color Doppler ultrasound examination were performed. The doctor said the red spots were caused by cross-infection but also found small stones in my prostate, recommending further treatment (treatments include: 30-minute magnetic resonance scan; 30-minute infrared irradiation; and a treatment involving a tube inserted through the anus into the rectum for 1 hour). (Examination fee: 460 yuan, treatment fee: 6170 yuan)Doctor's answer:
For asymptomatic static prostate stones, treatment may not be necessary. Regular observation can be sufficient to monitor any changes. Only when prostate stones cause severe infection or other complications that do not respond to medication can surgical treatment be considered. Prostate massage and antibiotics can help control symptoms, combined with hot Sitz baths, urinary spasmolytics, etc. As everyone knows, prostatitis can cause significant harm to patients, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary issues, with a focus on light meals and avoiding irritating foods. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary when needed.
