Patient's question:
During a routine physical examination at my workplace, it was found that I have prostatic calcification. However, I haven't felt any discomfort in my daily life. Since there is an issue, I still hope to get it treated. Could you please advise on how to effectively treat prostatic calcification?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification is caused by previous prostatitis, leaving behind fibrotic patches after healing. Prostatic calcification indicates that there was inflammation in the past, which is now inactive. If there are no symptoms, treatment is not necessary. If it leads to urinary difficulties, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Prostatic hyperplasia is usually caused by the gradual expansion of chronic prostatitis, often resulting from bacterial infiltration. Due to its recurring nature and difficulty in resolution, it brings significant pain to many patients. It is necessary to undergo thorough examinations and tests in a specialized hospital to determine the cause for targeted treatment. Many details in daily life also need to be coordinated with the doctor's treatment.
