    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Gynecology

    Background:

    • Urethral calculi are uncommon in women.
    • Symptoms typically include dysuria, frequency, and hematuria.

    Observation:

    • A woman presented with dyspareunia (painful intercourse) and a prolapse-like bulge.
    • This bulge was anterior vaginal wall and required manual manipulation to facilitate urination.

    Findings:

    • A large urethral calculus was identified as the cause.
    • Radiological imaging revealed the calculus's unusual size and position.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the diverse and sometimes atypical presentations of urethral calculi.
    • Clinicians should consider urethral stones in women with voiding dysfunction and pelvic discomfort.
  • Further investigation into the etiology of large urethral calculi in women may be warranted.
