Patient's question:
Previously, during a physical examination, I was found to have prostatic calcification. Since there were no symptoms, I didn't take it seriously. However, recently I have been feeling unwell. Could you please tell me: What are the symptoms of prostatic calcification?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification is due to a previous prostatitis, which leaves behind fibrotic patches after healing. Prostatic calcification indicates that there was inflammation in the past, which is now inactive. Bacteria can grow on prostatic calcification (fibrosis) and stones, so it is another reason for recurrent prostatitis and should not be ignored. Prostatic calcification and fibrosis are scars left by recurrent inflammation in the prostate, and are precursors to prostatic stones.
