Prostatic calculi generally involve two aspects of diagnosis. One part is called prostatic urethral or urethral prostatic calculi, which can be simply understood as urethral calculi located in the prostatic region. The second type is calculi inside the prostate, commonly referred to as prostatic calcification. These are most commonly seen during prostatitis and while taking medications. Typically, these calculi are asymptomatic and do not require special treatment. However, the second type, which are the calculi in the prostatic urethra (urethral calculi located in the prostatic part), usually affect urination and require removal through minimally invasive surgery.
