Patient's question:
During the routine physical examination conducted by the unit, it was found that I have prostatic calcification. However, I haven't felt any discomfort either. Since there is an issue, I still hope it can be treated. Could you please tell me: What causes prostatic calcification?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcifications could be a result of stones, but apart from stones, other causes such as prostatic tuberculosis, recurrent prostatic injury, parasitic eggs, and calcified tumors can also lead to prostatic calcifications. Moreover, even normal individuals may have mild prostatic calcifications. Identifying the exact cause of prostatic calcifications and determining whether treatment is necessary is crucial for patients with prostatic calcifications. Timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the condition, while delayed treatment may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should promptly take medication and avoid overexertion in daily life, paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
