Calculus in urethra - what does this mean
Calculus in the urethra occurs when small stones form in the urinary tract and become lodged in the urethra, blocking the flow of urine. this can be caused by a variety of factors such as dehydration, infection, or kidney stones. treatment typically involves either manual removal or endoscopic surgery.
What happens during the disease - calculus in urethra
Calculus in the urethra is an accumulation of minerals, usually calcium phosphate or calcium oxalate, that form a hard mass in the urethra. it is believed that the formation of these calculi is caused by an imbalance between the amount of minerals and water in the urine, as well as an increased concentration of minerals due to an obstruction in the urethra. this obstruction can be caused by an enlarged prostate, an infection, or a blockage in the urethral opening. if left untreated, the calculi can cause irritation and inflammation of the urethra, leading to pain and difficulty urinating.
