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 have a follow-up check-up to see if everything was fine, but the result showed the presence of prostate calcification. I am concerned that this condition might affect my health. Could you please tell me what expenses are almost necessary for treating prostate calcification?Doctor's answer:
Based on your condition, this is prostatic calcification, which are scars left behind after the prostate undergoes recurrent inflammation and fibrosis. It is a precursor to prostatic calculi. Prostatic calculi are often accompanied by chronic prostatitis. It is recommended that you seek timely treatment. You should also develop good habits, exercise more daily, pay attention to rest, avoid spicy foods, and drink more water. This is hoped to be helpful to you!Prostatic calcification tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek diagnosis at professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on examination results. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery!
