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 treat prostatic calcification?Doctor's answer:
The situation you mentioned, where there are calcifications in the prostate, does not require treatment, just like calcified tubercles in the lungs do not need treatment. Generally, it is believed that the scarring of a disease can take several forms: one is healing and repair similar to existing tissues, another is scar tissue scarring, and the third is fibrosis. For patients with prostate calcifications, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of complications. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely and appropriate treatment, and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life while avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
