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 still 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 tests are needed for prostate calcification?Doctor's answer:
B is a commonly used method for a thorough examination of the prostate. It includes methods such as transrectal detection and suprapubic abdominal detection, which can accurately measure the prostate with an error margin of no more than 5%. It holds significant importance for the definitive diagnosis of various prostate diseases and offers advantages such as simplicity, non-invasiveness, and minimal trauma, as well as rapid results. For patients with prostate calcification, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications, whereas delayed treatment may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life while avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
