For some middle-aged men, taking a lot of medicine for a long time has become a normal part of life. However, because they have elderly parents and young children to support, they take medicine to relieve the symptoms. However, the symptoms often become more and more serious. Therefore, when you are sick, you must actively go to the hospital to receive professional treatment and follow the doctor's instructions. Some family members want to take care of the patients, but they don't know much about diseases such as male urinary stones.

So what are the symptoms of male urinary stones? Many families know very little about the care after suffering from male urinary stones, but for those who have this disease in the family, it is very necessary to understand these issues.

After male urinary stones occur, the patient will first experience pain when urinating, and then hematuria and urethral discharge. If the patient's condition develops to a more serious level, the patient will also show difficulty urinating and urethral nodules. After the above situations occur, the first thing the patient should do is to actively seek diagnosis.

1. Pain. Primary urethral stones often grow gradually or are located in the diverticulum. There may be no pain symptoms in the early stage. Secondary stones are often suddenly embedded in the urethra, often causing sudden urethral pain and pain during urination. The pain may radiate to the glans penis, perineum or rectum.

2. Hematuria and urethral secretions. Emergency patients often have terminal hematuria or initial hematuria, or a small amount of blood dripping out at the end of urination. Accompanied by severe pain; chronic patients often have mucous or purulent urethral secretions.

3. Difficulty in urination. The stones cause incomplete urethral obstruction, which may result in thinning, bifurcating and weak urine stream, accompanied by frequent urination, urgency and dribbling. Secondary urethral stones, due to the sudden embedding of stones into the urethra, often cause sudden interruption of urination, strong urge to urinate and bladder tenesmus, and often lead to acute urinary retention.

4. Urethral tenderness and induration. Most patients can feel induration and tenderness at the local site of urethral stones. Posterior urethral stones can be felt through rectal digital examination. Multiple stones in the urethral diverticulum can be felt with a sandy friction.

Through the above introduction, we can understand that there are many symptoms of male urinary stones, usually pain, hematuria, dysuria, etc. However, it must be noted that once hard nodules appear, patients need to go to the hospital for professional treatment and take appropriate medication to relieve symptoms under the professional advice of doctors.
