Uric acid (UA) is effective in prostatic calcification and formation of urinary tract stones. In chronic prostatitis, the amount of urate in semen plasma and in the secretion of the prostate is close to the amount of UA in the serum, which is probably due to the backflow of urine into the prostate. Most issues of this problem are stone formation, poor stream, low quality of life, painful ejaculation, fear of sex relationship, anxiety and subsequently premature ejaculation (Torricelli et al., 2017;Rezakhaniha and Siroosbakhat, 2014).However, a study showed that patients with bladder UA stone had lower serum UA levels. They believed that local factors such as post void residue in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) were more important than UA levels (Li et al., 2009;Meng et al., 2020).Another study defined that men with higher UA and gout had a higher incidence rate of BPH, especially in young gout men (Li et al., 2018). Sangkop et al. (2016) defined that elevated UA was associated with Pca. They confirmed that decreasing UA is effective on treatment of Pca. Obesity and meat consumption are one of the problems of societies, which are the cause of cancers; also both of them are effective in hyperuricaemia. Recently, more attention has been paid about the link between UA and Pca, but little is known about effect of UA and development of Pca (Sangkop et al., 2016). Although few studies have been performed about UA levels and Pca, the effect of UA on lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), prostate volume and

“…Tang et al reported that age and the anteroposterior diameter of the prostate were stronger risk factors for PC than other factors, with bilirubin level being the only protective factor found in the study after adjustment for other factors (5). Moreover, metabolic disorders could contribute to the formation of PC, and serum uric acid might participate in the formation of PC (18)(19)(20)(21). Moreover, Qian et al speculated that patients with PC often seek medical consultation due to psychological or emotional reasons, and thus experience a decreased frequency of sexual activity with increasing depression, which ultimately leads to the excretion of prostatic secretions that are involved in the formation of PC (22).…”

Prostatic calculi (PC) are commonly found in patients who present for urologic consultation.However, the effect of PC on urinary symptoms remains controversial. In this study, we searched the Embase and PubMed databases for literature related to the following keywords: "prostatic calculi", "prostatic stone", "prostatic lithiasis" and "prostatic calcification", along with the limits, "lower urinary tract symptoms", "sexual dysfunction", "erectile dysfunction", "erectile function", and "premature ejaculation". According to the literature, there are various subtypes of PC based on X-ray or ultrasound findings, including type I/II, type A/B, and endogenous PC/extrinsic PC. Furthermore, the formation of PC remains unclear, and more importantly, the ability of PC to cause lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and sexual dysfunction (SD) is worth exploring. We retrospectively reviewed all available literature and found that most studies agreed that PC are associated with LUTS. The factors which may play an important role in the pathogenesis of LUTS include the size and location of PC, induced inflammation, and the blood flow of the prostate. Similarly, SD was also examined in the patients with PC, and psychological factors cannot be ignored in this regard.However, more in-depth study of the molecular mechanisms, including prospective, controlled, longitudinal, and large-sample studies, are needed in the future.
