Patient's question:
During the routine physical examination at my workplace, it was found that I have prostatic calcification. However, I haven't felt any discomfort in my daily life. Since there is an issue, I still hope to get it treated. Could you please tell me: What are the common harms of prostatic calcification?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification, if not treated promptly, can lead to conditions such as seminal vesiculitis, orchitis, and epididymitis. It may also result in functional abnormalities like erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation. This not only affects sexual quality of life but also impacts fertility. Due to the unique structure of the prostate, bacteria tend to thrive on calcification spots. For young and middle-aged patients, this is a contributing factor to the recurrent nature of prostatitis, which should not be overlooked.Conversely, a diet high in spicy foods can exacerbate prostate pressure, whereas a light diet can help reduce it. Drinking less beer, especially high-proof alcohol, is advisable. In daily meals, it's recommended to consume more vegetables and fruits to reduce the recurrence of constipation.
