A prostatic urethral calculus, commonly known as a prostate stone, is a mineral deposit that forms within the prostatic urethra, which can lead to various urinary problems and discomfort. These stones are primarily composed of calcium phosphate or other calcium deposits and can occur when there is an imbalance in the urinary system, resulting in the formation of urinary calculi. The presence of these stones can significantly impact men’s health, leading to complications such as urinary tract infections, chronic prostatitis, and potentially increasing the risk of prostate cancer if left untreated.
