How is prostate stone detected?

Patient's question:

My body was fine before, but suddenly yesterday, my waist started to hurt. I don't know what's wrong. Some friends said it might be stones.

Doctor's answer:

Prostatic calculi, colloquially known as stones in the prostate, refer to true stones formed within the prostatic acini and ducts. These stones can vary in size, from as small as millet grains to as large as peas. Prostatic calculi often harbor a large amount of bacteria, making them common sources of infection where bacteria can accumulate, yet antibiotics find it difficult to penetrate the stones to exert their effect.
Prostatic calculi can sometimes be expelled on their own, but it is still important to detect and treat them in a timely manner. Most symptomatic treatments generally do not require surgery, although surgical removal of stones may be necessary in very rare cases. Non-invasive extracorporeal treatment is also an option. Drinking plenty of water and maintaining a low-sodium diet can help. I hope this helps you. Wishing your family happiness.
