Patient's question:
I previously had prostatitis, and in the past few years, it has been well-controlled without recurrence. The other day, I planned to go for a follow-up check-up to see if everything was still fine, but the result showed that there is a problem of prostate calcification. I am concerned that this condition might affect my health. Could you please tell me: What types of fish are usually recommended for someone with prostate calcification?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcifications are hiding places for bacteria. Medications, microwaves, and other methods cannot completely remove them. This is one of the reasons why chronic prostatitis recurs frequently and is difficult to heal on its own. Prostatic calcifications cannot completely disappear, and there is no need to strive for their complete disappearance. As long as they are within a certain range, they will never affect the body. After prostatitis improves, fibrosis does not require treatment.Prostatic calcifications may be related to stones, but apart from stones, other causes such as prostatic tuberculosis, recurrent prostate damage, parasite eggs, and calcified tumors can also lead to prostatic calcifications.
