What are the symptoms of male urethral stones?

Due to the changes in our working and living environment, more and more diseases are bothering us. However, urethral stones are one of them, which brings great harm to our health. So in daily life, what are the manifestations of this disease?

Three symptoms of urethral stones

1. Frequent urination and urgency: When there are stones in the lower ureter or accompanied by infection, frequent urination and urgency may occur.

2. Hematuria: This is also a typical symptom of urethral stones. Hematuria is one of the important symptoms. Hematuria often occurs during urination and mostly occurs during physical activities.

3. Pain: Urinary stones can cause pain. Kidney and ureteral stones often cause pain in the costovertebral angle, waist, and abdomen. They are paroxysmal or persistent and can manifest as blunt pain or colic. Large and less mobile kidney stones may be painless. Movable stones are more painful and may even cause renal colic. The pain is like a knife cutting, located in the waist and abdomen, and radiates to the lower abdomen and vulva, often accompanied by nausea and vomiting.

How to diagnose urinary stones? Urinary stones are common surgical diseases. Stones formed in the kidneys are called kidney stones. Smaller kidney stones are called ureteral stones once they fall into the ureteral tube. If they are discharged into the bladder or urethra, they are called bladder stones or urethral stones. Stones that originate from the ureter, bladder or urethra are rare.
