Penile stones can be felt as a mass at the painful site, and the stones can be expelled by urinating forcefully.

Complete obstruction results in acute urinary retention. Patients with concurrent infection have purulent urethral discharge. The main symptoms of female urethral diverticulum stones are lower urinary tract infection, including frequent urination, painful urination, frequent urination at night, pyuria and hematuria.

treat

The treatment of urethral stones should select appropriate methods according to the location of the stones. Different methods are used for stones in different locations.

1. For example, if the stone is located in the fossa navicularis of the urethra, sterile liquid paraffin can be injected into the urethra, and then the stone can be pushed out of the urethral opening, or a vascular forceps can be inserted through the urethral opening to remove the stone.

2. For anterior urethral stones, use penis base block anesthesia to compress the proximal urethra of the stone to prevent the stone from moving backward, inject sterile liquid paraffin, and then gently push it toward the distal end of the urethra and remove it with a hook or forceps. If it is difficult to remove the stone, you can choose to remove it after lithotripsy under ureteroscopy. Avoid rough treatment and try not to perform urethrotomy to remove stones to avoid urethral stenosis.

3. For posterior urethral stones, use a urethral probe to gently push the stone into the bladder and then treat it as bladder stones.
