What Causes Penile Thrombosis After Treated For Kidney Stone?

I under took a procedure to remove a kidney stone recently and now I have what I have been able to link with penile thrombosis but I am unsure as the doctor had to use a numbing agent and hit the kidney stone multiple times (it was 3 cm from exiting the penis) and I was experiencing some discomfort would a fragment of a kidney stone be able to replicate penile thrombosis?

Urologist,  's  Response
Hello
Thanks for query .
You had impacted stone in the penile part of Urethra and Urologist has fragmented the stone by an endoscopic procedure .

During any endoscopic procedure Urologist has to pass endoscope and accessory instruments for crushing the stone through penis which requires an anesthetic lubricant (Xylocaine) jelly to be installed in penis to avoid trauma or injury to delicate urethra .

It never causes thrombosis of the penis
..
The pain and discomfort that you have is due to trivial trauma to urethra due instrumentation and will go away within 4-5 days .

You need to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Cefixime along with anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily .

Ensure to drink more water.
