Patient's question:
Hello expert, I was diagnosed with prostate stones half a year ago. Recently, I've been feeling something wrong with my urinary tract, and I don't know if it's related to the prostate stones or the underlying cause.Doctor's answer:
Prostate stones hide a large amount of bacteria. After crushing the stones and culturing them, a large number of bacteria can be observed to thrive. However, when prostate tissue is crushed and cultured, no bacterial growth is seen. This indicates that prostate stones often serve as a core for infection, storing bacteria, while antibacterial antibiotics find it difficult to penetrate into the stones to take effect. Therefore, prostate stones are very prone to complicated recurrent urinary tract infections, and conventional treatments struggle to remove the root cause of the disease.
