How is prostate stone detected?

Patient's question:

My body was fine before, but suddenly yesterday, my waist started to hurt. I don't know what's going on. Some friends said it might be stones.

Doctor's answer:

Prostatic calculi, colloquially referred to as stones forming in the prostate, are true stones that develop within the prostatic acini and ducts. These stones can range in size from as small as a grain of rice to as large as a pea. Prostatic calculi often harbor a large number of bacteria, making them common sites for bacterial storage and acting as infection foci. However, antibiotics often struggle to penetrate the stones to exert their effects.
Prostatic calculi can sometimes be expelled on their own, but prompt detection and treatment are still necessary in some cases. Most symptomatic treatments generally do not require surgery, though surgical stone removal may be needed in very rare instances. Non-invasive extracorporeal treatment is also an option. Drinking plenty of water and maintaining a low-sodium diet can help. I hope this helps you. Wishing your family happiness.
