Patient's question:
It is said that prostatitis can easily lead to prostate calcification. I had prostatitis two years ago and have recovered, but recently my prostate has been uncomfortable again. I suspect I might have developed prostate calcification. How can prostate calcification be treated to recover quickly?Doctor's answer:
Fibrotic spots in the prostate generally indicate a history of chronic prostatitis, which has left behind remnants after healing. They merely signify that inflammation occurred in the past and typically do not cause symptoms now, requiring no treatment. Unless there are obvious symptoms such as urinary difficulties or recurrent prostatitis, treatment options like anti-inflammatory medication or surgery may need to be considered. If only calcium deposits in the prostate are detected during a careful examination and no other symptoms are present, no treatment is necessary.For patients with prostate calcification, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life while maintaining good personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
