Prostate stones can indeed lead to frequent urination. The presence of stones in the prostate can stimulate the urinary meatus, creating an urge to urinate, which can lead to frequent urination. Repeated stimulation of the urethra can similarly cause a sensation of frequent urination. Urgency, frequency, and painful urination are signs of urinary tract irritation. Generally, any irritation in the urinary tract can cause these three typical symptoms to appear, which could be due to inflammation, stones, tumors, or other foreign bodies, etc. It is recommended that patients visit a regular hospital for examination and treatment to identify the cause and receive appropriate treatment, and not to delay the condition. Each situation should be analyzed specifically, and one should not blindly follow some folk remedies.

Prostate Calculus Symptoms

Most patients with prostate stones do not have any discomfort symptoms and are usually not detected. In most cases, prostate stones are discovered during physical examinations through ultrasonography. For such asymptomatic prostate stones, no special treatment is necessary. Some individuals may experience chronic prostate irritation due to the presence of prostate stones, leading to prostatitis or even hematospermia. In such cases, symptomatic treatment is recommended, and if an infection occurs, antibiotics should be used promptly for treatment. In daily life, it is advised to avoid prolonged sitting and holding urine, abstain from alcohol consumption, and engage in appropriate exercise to improve symptoms. If the prostate stones are large and symptoms are more pronounced, such as severe urinary frequency, urgency, pain, or bloody urine, surgical treatment may be considered.

Can prostatic calculi cause hematuria?

Prostate stones can cause hematuria, but this is relatively rare. Typically, a small amount of blood flows from the urethral opening after urination, but most patients with prostate stones do not experience discomfort and do not require special treatment. If prostate stones occasionally cause hematuria, it is generally not a serious issue and does not require special treatment. If hematuria occurs frequently and is accompanied by prostate pain, frequent urination, urgency, or other symptoms that significantly impact the patient's life, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and refrain from smoking and drinking.

Is drinking water effective for prostate stones?

Patients with prostate stones drinking more water will not achieve the purpose of treatment because the texture of the prostate is relatively dense and the ducts of the prostate are fine. It is difficult for the stones to be expelled through the prostate ducts, and drinking more water will not have a significant effect on the treatment of prostate stones. If a patient has prostate stones without any discomfort, there may be no need for special treatment. However, if prostate stones cause repeated prostate inflammations, timely use of antibiotics to control the infection is advisable. If the presence of prostate stones repeatedly causes prostate inflammation, or even prostate pain, and significantly affects the patient's life and work, surgery to remove the stones may be considered. (Please use medication under the guidance of a doctor)

Prostate Calculi Causes and Symptoms

The appearance of prostate stones is mostly due to previous prostate calcifications or calcification spots that gradually form prostate stones. The formation of prostate calcifications and calcification spots is directly related to prostatitis. Most patients with prostate stones do not experience discomfort. For those prostate stones that do not cause symptoms, no special treatment is necessary. However, some patients may experience frequent urination, urgency, incomplete voiding, and even recurring attacks of prostatitis due to the presence of prostate stones. In such cases, active anti-inflammatory treatment is required. When necessary, warm sitz baths can be taken, or oral medications that improve urinary discomfort can be used for treatment.

Can prostate stones be passed through urine?

Prostate stones cannot be excreted through urination, as they generally form inside the prostate gland. If the stones are not large, most patients do not experience any discomfort and do not require special treatment. If the presence of the stones repeatedly triggers prostate inflammation, this condition can be managed simply by using targeted antibiotics to control the infection. However, if the prostate stones are relatively large and significantly impact the patient’s life, such as causing repeated infections, hematuria (blood in urine), or hemospermia (blood in semen), then surgical intervention may be considered.
