Patient's question:
Recently found to have prostate stones, lower abdominal cramps, want to ask how are prostate stones treated in NanjingDoctor's answer:
How to Treat Prostate Stone in Nanjing—United Kingdom's Jiale Plasma Bipolar Resection, Expert Opinion on Prostate Stone TreatmentExperts believe that treatment should be administered when prostate stones are accompanied by other conditions or symptoms. For patients with chronic prostatitis or seminal vesiculitis, who have symptoms but mild infections, symptomatic treatment should be the primary approach. Prostate massage and antibiotics are used to control symptoms, supplemented by hot water sitz baths, urethral spasmolytics, etc., to alleviate posterior urethral irritation. Regular X-ray follow-ups should be conducted to monitor changes in stone size.
For patients with concomitant benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) can be performed, with the aim of as much stone removal as possible. If necessary, open surgery may be required for stone removal or complete prostatectomy.
