How to remove male urethral stones

Urinary stones are one of the most common stones in men, but not all urethral stones require surgical treatment. Stones vary in size and there are many different treatment methods. Some small stones can be discharged on their own. In fact, let's discuss what treatment methods are there for urinary stones that can effectively help us fight against stones. So, how do male urethral stones be discharged?

1. Drink a lot of water

Drinking a lot of water can erode the urethral opening, which may be beneficial to the discharge of smaller urethral stones, and has a certain practical significance in preventing stones. However, drinking a lot of water can have a negative impact on kidney function and the entire urinary system, so it should be moderate.

2. Diet therapy

Many foods have the ability to dissolve foreign matter. For example, black fungus can also play a certain role in solving endogenous foreign matter such as small kidney stones.

3. Fitness

Many people think that if the urethral stones are not large, they can be moved to the urethral opening through a lot of exercise and expelled by pressure. However, frequent exercise will cause excessive sweating and urine extraction, which will aggravate the urethral stones and affect the excretion of urethral stones. In addition, slightly larger stones may cause impaction, which will cause adverse effects.

4. Sand and gravel surgery

Lithotripsy can be used to treat stones in any part of the urethra, especially in the kidneys, upper urethra, bladder, and posterior urethra. It does not require surgery, has good efficacy, no significant pain, few symptoms, and is economical. It is the most ideal way to treat stones at this stage.

5. Surgery

The surgical treatment of urethral stones is open. A major disadvantage of surgical removal of urethral stones is that it causes great trauma and is very likely to cause infection and other diseases.
