Patient's question:
I always feel a bit uncomfortable in my prostate area. After a check-up, it was found that there are calcifications present. The doctor said it doesn't require treatment, but I'm very worried, so I want to consult. Could you please tell me: How can prostate calcifications be prevented better?Doctor's answer:
Excuse me for asking, are there any discomfort symptoms? Prostate calcification is a common phenomenon in middle-aged and elderly men, and it usually does not cause discomfort. It is generally related to prostatitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia. If there are no discomfort symptoms, it is recommended not to undergo treatment. Additionally, it is advisable to engage in appropriate physical exercise to enhance physical fitness. If there are discomfort symptoms, it is recommended to have a routine examination of prostatic fluid if necessary. The condition of prostate calcification tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. Moreover, for male patients, it is important to actively seek medical treatment at professional and reputable hospitals. Treatment should be considered based on examination results. Also, pay attention to a proper diet, avoid sexual activity, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
