Patient's question:
I have some prostatitis. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, it was found that there was also a condition of prostate calcification. Now the inflammation has been controlled, and there are no major issues, but I am very concerned about this prostate calcification problem. Please ask: How can prostate calcification be treated?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification is a scar left behind after the prostate undergoes recurrent inflammation and fibrosis, serving as a precursor to prostatic calculi. Prostatic calcification is formed due to inflammation, skin peeling, tissue necrosis, and the subsequent calcification process during the healing of the prostate. Generally, it shows no symptoms and does not require treatment. If there is significant discomfort, surgical treatment may be considered.In daily life, avoid spicy (such as seafood, especially shrimp) and pungent foods, alcohol (drinking alcohol can easily trigger prostate disease), and smoking. Drink plenty of water, urinate frequently, and maintain smooth bowel and bladder function to help expel prostatic secretions. Avoid prolonged inactivity, engage in regular physical exercise, and stabilize blood circulation to aid in the absorption of local inflammation. Maintain a nutrient-rich diet to enhance immune function and improve disease resistance.
