Patient's question:
After an erection, there is a hard object the size of a grain of rice in the middle of the ureter. It hurts very much when squeezed hard. Doctor, after my penis becomes erect, when I touch the ureter with my hand, there is a hard object the size of a grain of rice. I don't know what it is. When I slightly squeeze it with my hand, it hurts very much. However, it does not affect urination or ejaculation. What is going on? I am seeking an answer from the doctor!Doctor's answer:
Urethral calculi are more common in males, and most urethral calculi are located in the anterior urethra. They are characterized by difficulty urinating, intermittent dribbling, accompanied by dysuria. In severe cases, urinary retention and severe perineal pain may occur. Anterior urethral calculi can be palpated along the urethra. Posterior urethral calculi can be palpated through rectal examination. Ultrasound and X-ray examinations are helpful for confirming the diagnosis.Recommendations: For calculi located in the anterior urethra, sterile paraffin oil can be injected under penile root block anesthesia, and the calculus can be hooked or. For posterior urethral calculi, the calculus can be pushed into the bladder and treated as a bladder calculus.
