Patient's question:
I had an ultrasound, and the doctor said there were calcifications and enlargement; now I often feel testicular pain; left lower abdominal pain. How to treat it?Doctor's answer:
Hello: When prostate stones are combined with other conditions or symptoms appear, treatment should be administered. For patients with chronic prostatitis or seminal vesiculitis accompanied by symptoms but without severe infection, symptomatic treatment should be the primary approach. Prostate massage and antibiotics can be used to control symptoms, along with hot sitz baths, urethral spasmolytics, etc., to relieve posterior urethral irritation symptoms. Regular X-ray follow-ups should be conducted to monitor changes in stone size.For patients with concomitant benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) can be performed to remove the prostate while attempting to clear the stones as much as possible. If necessary, open surgery may be required to remove the stones or the entire prostate.
