How should prostate stones be treated? columns

The ** of prostate stones should be decided according to the size of the stones, if the stones are small and there are no obvious symptoms, they can be temporarily not treated, and regular reexamination can be done. If necessary, surgery is required to achieve the purpose of surgery, such as minimally invasive surgery, stone removal, non-invasive in vitro, etc., and choose the appropriate method according to your own situation.

Strictly speaking, prostatic stones refer to primary or endogenous true stones that form within the acinar and ducts of the prostate. This kind of stone can be as small as corn, as large as a pea, can be round or oval, can also be multi-faceted, the number can be one, or it may be hundreds, generally brownish-yellow, dark brown or black, small stones are often smooth, large stones or multiple stones can occupy the entire glandular cavity, and the texture is hard. This type of stone mostly contains organic components, such as protein, cholesterol, citric acid, etc., which are completely different from urethral stones and should not be confused.

In some cases, prostatic stones can penetrate the mucous membrane of the prostatic urethra and enter the urethra, which should be differentiated from urethral stones.

The cause of stones in the prostate is not very clear, and medical scientists have the following opinions. One view is that prostate stones snowball in size around an organic core. The core of organic matter is often blood clots, bacteria, necrotic tissue, or a substance called "amyloid."

Amyloid is a small round or oval-shaped radial structure formed by wrapping around the exfoliated epithelium, such as fat, nuclear protein, crystalline purin, cholesterol, etc. When urine flows through the urethra, it can regurgitate from the prostatic canal orifice to the distal prostatic duct, and the calcium salt crystals in the urine can be deposited layer by layer on the core of organic matter, gradually increasing and forming stones. Another view is that the formation of stones is due to chronic inflammation of the prostate acinar and excretory ducts, which causes the acinar to dilate, the prostatic duct is narrowed, and some salts are deposited on the normal prostate gland tissue after urine reflux, forming prostate stones.

There is also an argument that prostatic hyperplasia increases the pressure in the prostatic duct, stagnates the endocrine fluid of the glandular duct, and deposits salts on the cortical or surgical envelope that is compressed around the prostate, resulting in the formation of prostate stones.

Generally speaking, if patients with prostate stones do not have uncomfortable symptoms, they can not be carried out**, if there are symptoms such as poor urination and interruption of urination, the primary disease that causes prostate stones (such as prostatitis, prostatic hyperplasia, etc.) can be carried out first**.

Prostate stones occur in the prostate glandular duct Normally, prostate stones will not cause any impact on the body, most patients do not need to **, when prostate stones break through the urethra to form urethral stones, it can cause poor urination, painful urination, hematuria and other related symptoms.
