Patient's question:
How are testicular calculi formedDoctor's answer:
In cases of male genital calculus disease, isolated testicular calculi are extremely rare. Advice: Since the majority of calculi in the male reproductive system are secondary to urinary system stones, such as kidney stones. Testicular calculi are mostly caused by the spread of calculi from the prostate, seminal vesicle, vas deferens, and epididymis. Similar to calculi in other organ sites, the pathological changes of testicular calculi include caseous degeneration, cavity formation, and fibrosis. This leads to the destruction of testicular structure, damage to Leydig cells, and a decline in the function of Leydig cells secreting male hormones, which can even cause testicular atrophy. This results in male sexual dysfunction, such as impotence, premature ejaculation, and painful ejaculation. Therefore, it is recommended that you seek medical treatment.
