Patient's question:
Hello, I would like to ask, is it easy to treat prostate stones? Can it be cured? Where is it treated well?Doctor's answer:
Problem Analysis: Prostate diseases are often heard of, but prostatic calculi are rarely mentioned. Prostatic calculi refer to the formation of stones in the prostate of males. It is important to note that prostatic calculi are distinct from kidney stones and gallstones, and their symptoms also differ. Many elderly men, due to frequent nighttime urination or difficulty urinating, only discover they have prostatic calculi after examination.Precautions:
1. Avoid overexertion. Overexertion can deplete qi, leading to weakened urinary function and an increased risk of urinary retention.
2. Reduce the intake of spicy and irritating foods. These can cause congestion in the genital organs and exacerbate symptoms of hemorrhoids and constipation, thereby compressing the prostate and worsening urinary difficulties.
3. Urinate promptly and avoid holding urine. Holding urine can cause excessive bladder filling, weakening the detrusor muscle of the bladder, making urination difficult, and easily triggering acute urinary retention. Therefore, it is essential to urinate as soon as the urge arises.
4. Prostate massage. Massaging the lower abdomen and pressing points such as Qihai (CV6) below the navel can help restore bladder function. Lightly massaging after urination can promote bladder emptying and reduce residual urine.
