Patient's question:
I once suffered from prostatitis. I went to the hospital for it, took medication, and it got better. It hasn't recurred since then. Recently, I had a physical examination at the hospital and was told I have prostate calcification. Could you please tell me what the clinical symptoms of prostate calcification are?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis calcification in males may present with the following symptoms:1. Frequent, urgent, painful urination, burning sensation in the urethra, difficulty urinating, inability to urinate in drops, sometimes difficulty urinating at night, etc.
2. Urethral discharge: When urination ends or defecation occurs, white secretions may drip from the urethral opening.
3. Pain: Due to persistent chronic inflammation, severe tenderness and swelling may appear in areas such as the perineum, anus, and scrotum, often radiating to the pubic bone, lumbar-sacral region, bilateral inguinal region, and perineum, causing lower limb pain. Symptoms are generally more pronounced in the morning.
4. Physiological changes: Premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, loss of libido, or impotence. Some patients may experience painful ejaculation and hematospermia. In some cases of infertility, chronic prostatitis is a significant cause.
5. Insomnia and dreams, fatigue and dizziness, lack of confidence, depression, and memory loss.
It is recommended to take medication to treat prostatitis, wait and see, and if the condition does not improve, seek medical treatment for your prostatitis calcification at a hospital.
