Abel urinates frequently hematuria, and the stones in the body are as big as goose eggs!

Chen Bo (pseudonym), who is more than 60 years old, began to have symptoms of urinary frequency, urgency and dysuria 1 year ago, and repeatedly visited the hospital near his home, but each time it was only symptomatic treatment, and he did not receive systematic examination and treatment. In the past 3 months, Chen Bo has developed hematuria again, and the improvement of symptoms after oral anti-inflammatory drugs is not obvious. He was very worried, so he went to the Urology Department clinic of the Second Hospital of Guangdong Medical College.

Professor Wu Wenqi, deputy director of the Department of Urology of the Second Hospital of Guangdong Medical College, who received Chen Bo, combined his previous condition and made further examinations for him. The CT test results came out, and it turned out that he had a rare large stone in his bladder, which was accompanied by hydronephrosis in both kidneys.

Professor Wu Wenqi's team combined Chen Bo's age and physical condition to formulate an operating plan for him, and soon performed a suprapubic bladder incision and stone removal, and removed a yellow-brown stone about 7 cm×7 cm × 8 cm from the bladder, which was the size of a goose egg.

Wu Wenqi explained that there are many factors in the formation of bladder stones, mainly metabolic factors and urinary tract factors. Metabolic factors include changes in urine composition (such as oxalic acid, uric acid, increased urinary calcium), less water, etc., and self-factors include urinary tract obstruction and infection. Bladder stones in middle-aged and elderly men are closely related to poor urination and urinary tract infections caused by prostatic hyperplasia. Chen Bo is a typical example, he is due to prostatic hyperplasia caused by long-term urination obstruction, resulting in the formation of bladder stones, and further surgery is needed to deal with prostatic hyperplasia in the later stage.

To prevent bladder stones, Wu Wenqi reminded that it is usually necessary to drink more water appropriately, do not hold urine, and can regularly do urinary ultrasound under the guidance of a specialist, and once abnormalities are found, they should be treated as early as possible.
