Patient's question:
I always feel that the area of my prostate is not very comfortable. After a check-up, it was found that there are calcifications present. The doctor said that treatment is not necessary, but I am very worried, so I want to consult. Please ask: What are the effective treatments and diagnostic methods for prostate calcification?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification is the scar left behind by recurrent inflammation of the prostate, serving as a precursor to prostatic calculi and a common complication of chronic prostatitis. The calcified foci in the prostate are havens for bacteria, and treatments such as medication and microwave therapy cannot completely eliminate them. This is one reason why chronic prostatitis tends to recur and is difficult to self-heal. The majority of patients in the later stages of prostatitis have fibrotic plaques. It is recommended to seek prompt medical attention at a formal urological hospital for thorough examination and treatment.Lifestyle adjustments for prostate health include: drinking plenty of water, avoiding prolonged sitting, staying active, abstaining from spicy and irritating foods, quitting smoking and alcohol, and moderating sexual activity. Based on a comprehensive evaluation of your condition, if symptoms are significant, it is advisable to visit the hospital for follow-up and take medication as prescribed by your doctor. Wishing you good health.
The condition of prostatic calcification tends to recur, requiring long-term medication for management.
