In patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, residual urine in the bladder increases due to urethral obstruction and poor urination. Uric acid in the bladder will produce crystals and deposited calcium ions to form stones together. Especially in the case of inflammation in the bladder, the urine is easier to precipitate crystals and produce stones under the action of bacteria.
Bladder calculus is a frequently induced disease of prostatic hyperplasia
The typical symptom of bladder stone patients is postural dysuria. The patient can suddenly interrupt the urine flow when urinating, but can continue to urinate after slightly changing the position. When patients with BPH have difficulty urinating, they often think that it is caused by BPH, and ignore the existence of bladder stones. Most of the bladder stones in patients with BPH are found during ultrasound examination.
The bladder stone itself is relatively easy to treat. It can be dissolved by taking sodium bicarbonate to alkalize the urine, or by using ultrasonic instruments for lithotripsy. The dissolved or crushed stones will be discharged with the urine. However, bladder stones in patients with BPH are caused by obstruction caused by BPH. If the urethral obstruction is not relieved, bladder stones may recur.
How to treat prostatic hyperplasia with stones
Once the patients with BPH have bladder stones, they must first relieve the urethral obstruction, that is, treat BPH first, and perform surgical treatment if necessary. The simultaneous surgical treatment of prostatic hyperplasia and bladder stones has less damage, high success rate, good prognosis and less recurrence.
