Patient's question:
How is prostate stone treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Prostate stones do not require treatment.Prostate stones are not true stones; they are mostly formed by calcification or fibrosis of prostate tissue. Because they show similar characteristics on imaging tests, they are habitually referred to as prostate stones. Generally, they are very small and have no symptoms or impact.
If there are symptoms or effects, they are usually the result of prostatitis or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). These two conditions are the actual causes of prostate stones, so treating them is the main issue. If the prostate hyperplasia is significant and accompanied by stones, it may compress the urethra and affect urination. In such cases, surgical removal may be performed (though it is not suitable for young people and is more commonly used for the elderly).
The above analysis and advice are for your reference. I hope they can help you solve the problem.
