Be careful about the six symptoms of prostate stones in men!

Prostate stones are a common disease among men, especially among office white-collar men. The early symptoms of prostate stones are more obvious. Men may experience difficulty urinating, genital pain, and obvious lumps, which should be a cause for concern. So, what are the symptoms of prostate stones?

1. Stone morphology

Prostate stones usually refer to stones that occur in the prostate acini and glandular ducts. The composition of prostate stones is closely related to urine reflux. The size and number of prostate stones vary greatly, ranging from one to hundreds; the color is brown, brown or black, and the texture is hard.

2. Is there any difficulty in urination?

Most patients with prostate stones are men over 40 years old. Prostate stones themselves do not have any special symptoms, but when prostate stones are combined with prostate hyperplasia or urethral stenosis, symptoms such as dysuria, frequent urination, thin and weak urine stream, or even dribbling urine may occur. They are often discovered accidentally during rectal examinations or during X-rays, V-ultrasound, and other examinations for diseases such as prostate hyperplasia and chronic prostatitis.

3. Pain symptoms

When chronic prostatitis, urethral stenosis or prostatic hyperplasia occurs, corresponding symptoms may appear. For example, chronic prostatitis may cause pain in the lumbosacral region, genitals, penis and anus, and secretions in the urethra; when urethral stenosis or prostatic hyperplasia occurs, urination difficulties, weak urine stream, and urine dripping may occur; when prostatic abscess occurs, perineum and deep rectal pain may be aggravated during defecation, with fever and urine retention. Some cases may have terminal hematuria and sexual dysfunction. Small stones may sometimes be discharged on their own, or they may be discharged during prostate massage.

4. Physiological effects

Most patients with prostate stones have no symptoms. Many elderly men suffer from frequent urination or difficulty urinating at night. They only find out that they have early symptoms of prostate stones after a check-up. Stones can remain in the prostate for many years without causing any discomfort. If the stones are larger, there will be frequent urination, hematuria, difficulty urinating, pain, etc., and sometimes there will also be low libido, hematospermia or impotence, etc.

5. Damage to the kidneys

When urethral obstruction or urination interruption occurs, bladder reflux occurs, leading to hydronephrosis and kidney damage. In severe cases, uremia may occur.

6. Decreased immunity

Prostate stones can seriously affect the quality of life of patients with prostate stones and cause a huge mental burden on patients, thereby reducing the patient's body's immune ability.
