Prostate stone 0.90.6, need to have surgery?

Patient's question:

Now I just found out during the company physical exam that I have prostatic calculi measuring 0.90.6! Should I have surgery now? My current condition is good! No lying pain!

Doctor's answer:

There are many treatment methods for urinary system stones, including conservative therapy, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), and surgical treatment, each with its own indications. Stones that are smooth and smaller than 0.6 cm in diameter without obstruction or infection can be treated conservatively; ESWL is most suitable for crushing stones smaller than 2.5 cm in diameter.
