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: How is it better to treat prostate calcification?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification is caused by a previous prostatitis, which leaves behind fibrotic patches after healing. Prostatic calcification indicates that there was inflammation in the past, which is now inactive. If there are no symptoms, treatment is not necessary. If it leads to urinary difficulties, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Prostatic hyperplasia is usually caused by the gradual expansion of chronic prostatitis, often due to bacterial infiltration. Due to its recurring nature and difficulty in self-healing, it brings significant pain to many patients. It is necessary to undergo thorough examinations and tests in a specialized hospital to determine the cause for targeted treatment. Many details in daily life also need to be coordinated with the doctor's treatment, such as avoiding prolonged sitting, exposure to cold, and drinking plenty of hot water to help cleanse the prostate.
