(N42.0) Calculus of prostate

Calculus of the prostate is a condition in which small stones form in the prostate gland, often due to an infection or an obstruction of the urinary tract. these stones can cause pain, difficulty urinating, and other urinary symptoms.

Calculus of the prostate is a condition caused by the formation of hard deposits of minerals and proteins within the prostate gland. these deposits can cause a blockage of the urinary tract, leading to difficulty in passing urine, increased urinary frequency, and pain in the pelvic area. the condition is often caused by an imbalance of hormones, a weakened immune system, or a combination of both. in some cases, the deposits may be caused by an infection or inflammation of the prostate. treatment typically involves antibiotics and/or surgery to remove the deposits.
