What are the symptoms of having urethral stones?

The main symptoms of urethral stones include: 1. Difficulty urinating:表现为 sudden interruption of the urine stream, a thinner or split urine stream, weak flow, or even dribbling; severe cases may lead to acute urinary retention. 2. Pain: severe pain may occur at the site where the stone is lodged, or sharp, cutting pain during urination, with pain radiating to the tip of the penis, perineum, or rectum. 3. Symptoms of infection: if the stone is complicated by infection, the patient may experience frequent urination, painful urination, urgency, and may have pyuria (pus in the urine). 4. Urethral discharge: patients may present with hematuria (blood in urine) at the beginning or end of urination, sometimes appearing as bloody discharge; purulent discharge may occur with infection. 5. Other symptoms: male patients may experience symptoms related to stones in a urethral diverticulum, while female patients may present with symptoms such as pus discharge from the urethra. The occurrence of these symptoms is related to the location and size of the stone and the degree of urinary tract obstruction it causes. If there is any concern, timely medical consultation is recommended.
