Patient's question:
Recently, I felt unwell and went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The results showed that I have prostatic calcification. I don't know why I developed this condition, so I want to learn more about effective treatments for prostatic calcification.Doctor's answer:
Hello. Prostatic calcification and fibrosis are scars left behind after recurrent prostatic inflammation and scarring. They are precursors to prostatic calculi. Prostatic calculi are often accompanied by chronic prostatitis. To prevent this condition, it is important to avoid alcohol and irritating foods during bowel movements, prevent colds and chills, reduce sexual activity to alleviate symptoms. Otherwise, if the condition is not managed properly, it may lead to acute urinary retention where urine cannot be expelled at all, which is extremely painful. The cause of benign prostatic hyperplasia is currently believed to be related to endocrine imbalance and endocrine disorders, as well as increased male hormone levels. For its treatment, clinical diagnosis commonly employs hormone therapy, radiation therapy, and transurethral resection surgery. For elderly patients with poor health conditions who cannot tolerate prostatectomy, these treatments can also be effective to some extent.
