Patient's question:
I previously had prostatitis. Two days ago, I went for a follow-up check-up to see, and the results showed the presence of prostate calcification. I am concerned that this condition may affect my health. Please ask: What are the potential harms of 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 symptoms, treatment is not necessary. If it causes urinary difficulties, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to timely treatment for prostatic calcification, patients should maintain a positive attitude to face the condition. Only in this way can patients receive timely and appropriate treatment. At the same time, they should pay close attention to dietary care, focusing on a light diet and avoiding irritating and cold foods, believing that this will help drive away prostatic calcification.
