Annual PSA and physical exams are recommended from age 50 for average-risk men, and from age 45 for those with a family history of prostate cancer.
Stones under 5 mm usually pass on their own. 5-10 mm stones may be managed with medication and monitoring. Stones over 10 mm or those causing obstruction need intervention.
Burning during urination, frequent urge to urinate, back pain or fever are the main symptoms. Diagnosis is confirmed via urinalysis.
