Prostate stones usually occur in people over 40 years old, with the highest incidence between 50 and 65 years old.

When prostate stones are complicated by chronic prostatitis, urethral stenosis or prostate hyperplasia, corresponding symptoms may occur. For example, chronic prostatitis may cause pain in the lumbosacral region, perineum, penis and anus, and secretions in the urethra; when urethral stenosis or prostate hyperplasia is complicated, urination difficulties, weak urine stream, and urine dripping may occur; when prostate abscess occurs, perineum and deep rectal pain may be aggravated during defecation, and there may be 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.

The prostate is an accessory organ of the male reproductive system. The fluid secreted by the prostate can nourish sperm and ensure the normal activity of sperm. However, this prostate fluid and the epithelial cells shed from the prostate are the main substances for the formation of stones.

This blockage in turn aggravates the gradual formation of stones by inorganic salts.
