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 either. Since there is an issue, I still hope to get it treated. Could you please tell me: How can one determine if it is prostatic calcification?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification spots are scars left behind after prostatic inflammation heals. Generally, they do not cause discomfort and do not require treatment. Proper lifestyle adjustments are sufficient, and they will never cause abnormalities or discomfort. If there are urinary abnormalities, oral medication can be taken.In daily life, it is important to stay active, avoid riding bicycles or horses, and not sit for long periods or hold in urine. Avoid tight underwear, refrain from sexual activity, maintain a regular sex life, do not drink alcohol, and avoid spicy, high-calcium, high-fat, seafood, and fried foods. Instead, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits and drink plenty of water.
For patients with prostatic calcification, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely and symptomatic treatment and maintain a regular sex life while avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
