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 go for a follow-up check-up to see if everything was fine, but the result showed that there is a problem of prostate calcification. I am concerned that this condition might affect my health. Could you please advise which hospital is good for treating prostate calcification?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification is commonly seen in chronic prostatitis, and chronic prostatitis can lead to varying degrees of prostatic hyperplasia. If the hyperplasia is severe, it may cause urinary retention. It is recommended to seek treatment at a formal large hospital's urology department. Drug treatment, especially rigorous treatment, often yields unsatisfactory results. Surgical treatment can alleviate symptoms of urinary retention. The condition of prostatic calcification tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is crucial to immediately visit a professional and formal hospital for diagnosis. Treatment should be considered based on the results of thorough examinations. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, maintain good personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
