How are prostate stones formed

Patient's question:

The position of the prostate always feels uncomfortable, and sometimes it even feels a dull pain. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said I had prostate stones. How do prostate stones occur? I've only heard of prostatitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia. How could I get prostate stones?

Doctor's answer:

The most common method of traditional surgical treatment is transurethral resection of the prostate and stones. Traditional surgical treatment is often used for younger patients, as it can avoid causing sexual dysfunction, and can also be used for the elderly and weak to reduce physical impact. The disadvantage is that it is difficult to completely remove the stones. For deep prostate stones and multiple stones, transperineal total prostatectomy can be used to remove the prostate and stones. If necessary, bilateral seminal vesicles can be resected. For large, multiple stones accompanied by benign prostatic hyperplasia, suprapubic prostate and stone enucleation should be adopted. However, it is more difficult for patients with periprostatic inflammation. Traditional surgical treatment for prostate stones is rarely used in medicine because the recurrence rate is high, the recovery period is long, and it is highly harmful to the body.
