Patient's question:
I once had male prostatitis. I went to a local regular hospital for treatment, took medication, and it got better. I haven't had it again since. Recently, I had a physical examination at a hospital in the county and was told I have prostatic calcification. How should prostatic calcification be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Hello, prostate calcification was found during a urinary system ultrasound examination. Prostate calcification is primarily related to chronic prostatitis and is formed as a calcification focus after the healing of chronic prostatitis. If prostate calcification is complicated by prostatitis, it may cause some corresponding symptoms, leading to urinary abnormalities and pain, as well as affecting sexual function. Urinary abnormalities mainly include frequent urination, urinary urgency, dysuria, urinary splitting, and increased nocturia. Pain mainly refers to a sense of heaviness and discomfort in the lumbosacral and perineal areas. Since most patients with chronic prostatitis often experience anxiety and excessive stress, it can also lead to erectile dysfunction and impotence. Therefore, timely treatment should be provided.
