Patient's question:
B ultrasound shows existing prostate calcification, blood in semen, and a normal urinalysis. Reappearance of testicular congestion and pain, as well as limpness during intercourse and premature ejaculation due to a long period without sexual activity. What are the causes of prostate calcification?Doctor's answer:
Hello. Prostatic calcification and fibrosis are scars left behind after recurrent prostatitis leads to inflammation and scarring. They are precursors to prostatic calculi. Prostatic calculi are often accompanied by chronic prostatitis. To prevent this condition, it is important to avoid alcohol and irritating foods during bowel movements, prevent colds and chills, reduce sexual activity to alleviate symptoms. Otherwise, if the condition is not properly managed, it may lead to acute urinary retention where urine cannot be expelled at all, which is extremely painful. The cause of benign prostatic hyperplasia is currently believed to be related to endocrine imbalance and endocrine disorders, as well as increased male hormone levels. For its treatment, clinical diagnosis commonly uses hormone therapy, radiation therapy, and transurethral resection surgery. For elderly patients with poor health conditions who cannot tolerate a prostatectomy, these treatments can also be effective to some extent.
