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 unwell and wondering if it could be related to this prostatic calcification. Could you please tell me: How is prostatic calcification treated most effectively?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification indicates a previous inflammation that is now inactive. If there are no symptoms, treatment is not necessary. If urinary difficulties occur, it is important to seek timely medical attention at a reputable urological hospital. If a man experiences recurrent prostatic calcification or stones, immediate treatment is required, as fibrosis can expand into stones, causing various symptoms. Some patients may have symptoms that persist for a long time and cannot be completely resolved, so a comprehensive examination should be conducted to determine if there is prostatic stone fibrosis. Without treating stone fibrosis, it is difficult to completely cure the prostatic disease. The condition of prostatic calcification tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is essential to visit a professional and reputable hospital for diagnosis. Treatment should be considered based on the results of the examination. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, maintain good personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
