Patient's question:
I previously had prostatitis, and in these past few years, it has been well-controlled without recurrence. The other day, I planned to have a follow-up check-up to see if everything was fine, but the result showed that there is a problem of prostate calcification. I am worried that this condition might affect my health. Please ask: How should I treat prostate calcification?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification is caused by previous prostatitis, leaving behind fibrotic patches after healing. Prostatic calcification indicates that there was inflammation in the past, which is now inactive. If there are no discomfort symptoms, treatment is generally not necessary. It is important to avoid overexertion and overtime work, maintain a regular lifestyle, and prevent colds. Colds and overexertion can lead to a weakened immune system, making it easier for prostatic diseases to recur.Prostatic calcification is a serious condition, and patients are advised to seek timely symptomatic treatment. It is hoped that patients can follow their doctors' recommendations for treatment. At the same time, dietary issues should be paid attention to, avoiding spicy and irritating foods to prevent worsening the condition.
The above answers are hoped to be helpful to you. Thank you.
