Patient's question:
I have some prostatitis. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, it was found that there was also a condition of prostate calcification. Now the inflammation is under control, and there are no major issues, but I am very concerned about this prostate calcification problem. Please ask: How can I determine if there is prostate calcification?Doctor's answer:
Early in the disease, due to the stimulation of benign prostatic hyperplasia that controls the posterior urethra and bladder neck, symptoms such as frequent urination and urgency may occur. Patients with prostatic calcification may experience urgency but cannot urinate quickly, and may also show symptoms such as reduced urinary flow compared to before, longer duration of urination, a feeling of incomplete emptying, and difficulty urinating. The emergence of prostate gland diseases interferes with male reproductive health, causing certain disruptions to male life and physical well-being. Among the prostate diseases, prostatic calcification is the most common in middle-aged and elderly men. The occurrence of prostatic calcification can bring certain disruptions to male life, making treatment and health maintenance necessary.
