Patient's question:
During a routine physical examination by the unit, it was found that I have prostatic calcification. However, I haven't felt any discomfort in my daily life. Nevertheless, since there is an issue, I still hope to get it treated. Could you please tell me: What are the causes of prostatic calcification?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification and fibrosis are fibrotic patches left behind after prostatitis, indicating the presence of prostatic calculi. Prostatic calculi are often accompanied by chronic prostatitis, and these conditions can only be detected through careful ultrasound examinations. Additionally, prostatic calcifications form calcified nodules that serve as primary hiding places for bacteria. Medications, microwaves, and other treatments cannot effectively and completely remove these calcifications, which is one reason why chronic prostatitis tends to recur and is difficult to alleviate. The recurrence of prostatic calcification is usually caused by delayed treatment of prostatitis. Therefore, to treat prostatic calcification, the first step is to address prostatitis.
