Patient's question:
Go to the hospital for a check-up, diagnosed with prostate stones. The doctor said that only surgery can treat it. Do prostate stones require surgery?Doctor's answer:
For most small and numerous prostate stones incidentally discovered during routine X-ray examinations, if they remain asymptomatic and, treatment is often not required. Regular X-ray follow-ups are sufficient to dynamically monitor changes in the size of the stones. However, if the prostate stones cause urinary tract infections, chronic prostatitis, or are combined with conditions such as benign prostatic hyperplasia, the presence of prostate stones can adversely affect the treatment of other associated conditions. Surgical treatment should be considered in such cases. If you still have any unclear questions, please click on the left 【Click for Consultation】 for assistance.
