Patient's question:
I would like to ask how to treat prostatic calcification. I have had a recent dull pain in the epididymis, and after examination, it was found that I have prostatic calcification. I want to know how it is best treated?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification and fibrosis are scars left behind after recurrent prostatitis leads to fibrosis and scarring in the prostate. They are precursors to prostatic calculi. Due to the unique structure of the prostate, recurrent fibrosis and stone formation generally have no effective treatment. Bacteria tend to grow on calcified (fibrotic) areas or stones, which can be a reason for the recurring nature of prostatitis and should not be ignored. Fibrotic spots in the prostate are often caused by chronic inflammation or prostatic calculi and usually show no symptoms, requiring no treatment. If prostatic calcification or stones reappear, treatment is necessary. Fibrosis can expand into stones, causing various symptoms, and a comprehensive examination is required.
