Symptoms of scrotal stones

Kidney stones are a disease in which stones exist in a certain organ of the human body. These stones are not ingested by people, but are formed by the accumulation of human body waste over time. The most common stones are kidney stones, urethral stones, gallstones, etc. If the stones are not large, they are usually treated with medication. If the stones are large, they can only be treated with surgery. Let’s learn about the symptoms of scrotal stones.

1. Symptoms of urinary stones in men

Generally, if you have urinary stones, you will have the following symptoms:

1. Pain. On the one hand, there will be tenderness and nodules, especially multiple stones in the urethral diverticulum, which can feel a sandy and gravel-like friction. On the other hand, pain may also occur during urination, and may radiate to the perineum, rectum or glans penis.

2. Hematuria, which is also one of the symptoms of urethral stones, often manifests as terminal hematuria or initial hematuria, and is accompanied by severe pain.

3. Difficulty in urination. This is because the stones in the urethra cause obstruction of the urethra, thus causing difficulty in urination.

2. How to treat male urinary stones

When it comes to the treatment of male urinary stones, the first and most important thing is to confirm the location and size of the stones. Treatment plans are determined based on the specific symptoms. If the stones are very small and have no symptoms, you can take some stone-removing drugs and drink more water and exercise more. If the stones have caused pain and are relatively large, for example, between 0.5cm and 2cm, they can be crushed using extracorporeal ultrasonic lithotripsy, followed by medication. If the stone is relatively large, for example, more than 2 cm or even larger, and the effect of extracorporeal lithotripsy is not ideal, then it is better to consider surgical treatment.

In fact, for urethral stones, on the one hand, it needs to be treated, and on the other hand, it needs to be recuperated. The reason for urethral stones is not only related to human physique but also the local water quality. The more important factors are lifestyle and eating habits. You should drink more water, exercise more, and don’t sit still all the time. You should also pay attention to your diet, eat less spicy and greasy food, and try to eat less or no seafood, such as shrimps, crabs, etc. Also avoid eating foods that contain a lot of oxalic acid, such as spinach, strawberries, etc. Pay attention to the combination of work and rest, ensure adequate sleep, and have regular physical examinations to keep track of your physical condition at all times.
