Speaking of gallbladder stones and bladder stones, we often hear about them. So, what's the matter with prostate stones? "We are not at a loss to deal with the problem of prostate stones. Here is how to deal with prostate stones.". According to the different components of prostate stones, they are divided into endogenous stones and exogenous stones. The former mainly comes from prostate fluid, while the latter mainly comes from urine. "For most small and asymptomatic stones found during routine X-ray examinations, treatment is often not required.".
What about prostate stones? To solve this problem, it is necessary to understand the pathogenesis of prostate stones. Expert explanation: The formation of exogenous stones is related to the reflux of urine within the prostate.
Calculus is often accompanied by focal chronic inflammatory changes in the prostate, with round cell infiltration, and the acini are filled with exfoliated epithelial cells and debris. For larger stones, the prostate duct and acini can expand, surrounded by a cystic cavity, without epithelial cell coverage in the wall, and there are round cell infiltration and fibrosis between the acini. The number of prostate stones varies from one to several hundred, often multiple. The size ranges from 1 to 4mm, some up to 1cm, and they are brown or oval in shape. The surface of small stones is smooth, and multiple stones have a polyhedral shape. It is generally hard but can be crushed by forceps.
What about prostate stones? The expert's opinion is that most small and much silent stones found during routine X-ray examinations often do not require treatment. For stones with symptoms but less severe infection, prostate massage and antibiotics can be used to control the symptoms and observe the size of the stones. "When stones are associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia, transurethral resection of the prostate can be performed, and the stones should be removed simultaneously as much as possible.". "When the stones are large and numerous, transperineal prostatectomy and lithotomy are required. Simple prostatectomy and lithotomy often result in the formation of new stones in the prostate cavity.".
Treat patients with prostate stones with a positive attitude, do not be afraid of the harm of the prostate, and cooperate with doctors to take effective measures to gain a new life as soon as possible.
