Patient's question:
I always feel that the area of my prostate isn't very comfortable. After a check-up, it was found that there are calcifications present. The doctor said it doesn't require treatment, but I am very worried, so I want to consult. How can I check and treat prostate calcifications?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification is caused by a previous prostatitis, which leaves 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 calcification tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is crucial to visit a professional and reputable hospital for diagnosis. Treatment should be considered based on thorough examination results. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, maintain good personal hygiene, and wish all patients a speedy recovery.
