Kidney and Bladder Stones
For males, the urethra is located inside the penis and transports both semen and urine. Having a somewhat direct connection to the rest of the urinary system makes the urethra the end stop for kidney and bladder stones.
Kidney and bladder stones are comprised of mineral deposits from the urine and may range in size from a tiny granule to a pearl, with smooth or barbed surfaces.9‘Kidney Stones.’ National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, 1 May 2017, www.niddk.nih.gov/health-information/urologic-diseases/kidney-stones Passing stones through the urethra is very painful and may extend into the entire testicular area.9‘Kidney Stones.’ National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, 1 May 2017, www.niddk.nih.gov/health-information/urologic-diseases/kidney-stones
