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've been feeling uncomfortable, and I wonder if it could be related to this prostatic calcification. Please ask: How is it best to treat prostatic calcification?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification is commonly seen in chronic prostatitis, and chronic prostatitis can lead to varying degrees of prostatic hyperplasia. If the hyperplasia is severe, it may cause urinary retention. It is recommended to seek treatment at a formal and large hospital's urology department. Conservative treatment with medication is often not effective, while surgical treatment can alleviate symptoms of urinary retention. The condition of prostatic calcification tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is crucial to immediately visit a professional and formal hospital for diagnosis. Treatment should be considered based on thorough examination results. Additionally, it is important to control sexual activity and maintain a positive mood. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
