Patient's question:
I have a bit of prostate calcification. I'm very concerned about this prostate calcification issue. Please ask: How is prostate calcification treated?Doctor's answer:
Generally, prostate calcifications are remnants of fibrosis left behind after previous prostatitis has healed. Prostate calcifications indicate 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 follow-up care at a reputable urological hospital promptly. If a man has prostate calcifications or stones, immediate treatment is required because fibrosis can expand into stones, causing various symptoms. Some patients may experience persistent symptoms that cannot be fully resolved, and in such cases, a comprehensive examination should be conducted to determine if there is prostate stone fibrosis. Without treating the stone fibrosis, it is difficult to completely cure the prostate condition. Prostate calcifications can be alleviated, but the treatment process is usually lengthy, and there is a high risk of recurrence 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.
