Patient's question:
During a physical examination, it was found that I have prostatic calcification. Since there were no symptoms, I didn't take it seriously at first. However, recently I have been feeling unwell and wonder if it could be related to this prostatic calcification. Please ask: How is prostatic calcification treated?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification cannot be treated. There is no effective clinical method for diagnosing and treating prostatic calcification. Prostatic calcification is a scar left behind after inflammation and fibrosis occur in the prostate, and it is a precursor to prostatic calculi. Due to the unique structure of the prostate, there is generally no effective treatment for fibrosis or calculi. If a patient's symptoms are severe, surgical treatment may be considered, but it may still recur after surgery. Therefore, the key to treating fibrosis is to treat prostatic inflammation. However, for already formed fibrosis, there are no clinical treatment measures! The condition of prostatic calcification tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. Moreover, for male patients, it is important to actively seek diagnosis in professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on the results of the examination. Additionally, pay attention to a proper diet and avoid sexual activity. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
