Patient's question:
I previously had prostatitis, and in the past few years, it has been well-controlled without recurrence. The other day, I planned to go for a follow-up check-up to see if everything was fine, but the result showed that there is a problem of prostate calcification. I am concerned that this condition might affect my health. Could you please tell me: How is prostate calcification treated?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification is mostly caused by repeated local inflammation. The deposition of inorganic substances locally generally does not interfere with sexual function. If there is no frequent urination, urgency, urine splitting, or hesitation during urination, treatment is not necessary, and it does not need to be managed. Prostatic calcification tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek medical treatment at professional and reputable hospitals promptly. Treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, proper diet and avoiding sexual activity should be maintained. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
