Patient's question:
I have some prostatitis. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, it was found that there was also a condition of prostate calcification. Now the inflammation has been controlled, and there are no major issues, but I am very concerned about this prostate calcification problem. Please ask: What is the best way to treat prostate calcification?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification is a scar left behind after the prostate undergoes recurrent inflammation and fibrosis, serving as a precursor to prostatic calculi. Prostatic calcification is formed due to inflammation, skin peeling, tissue necrosis, and the subsequent calcification process during the healing of the prostate. Generally, it shows no symptoms and does not require treatment. If there is significant discomfort, surgical intervention may be considered.In daily life, avoid spicy foods, alcohol, and smoking; drink plenty of water, urinate frequently, and maintain smooth bowel and bladder function to help expel prostatic secretions. Avoid prolonged inactivity, engage in regular physical exercise, and stabilize blood circulation to aid in local inflammation resolution. Maintain a nutrient-rich diet to enhance immune function and disease resistance.
Prostatic calcification can be alleviated, but the treatment process is usually slow, and recurrence is common after treatment. Patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene. It is hoped that male patients can recover quickly.
