Patient's question:
I previously had prostatitis, and in the past few years, it has been well-controlled without recurrence. The other day, I planned to go for a follow-up check-up to see if everything was fine, but the result showed the presence of prostate calcification. I am concerned that this condition might affect my health. Could you please tell me: How should I treat prostate calcification?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification is generally caused by previous prostatitis, leaving behind fibrotic spots after healing. For your condition, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible for proper diagnosis and treatment. Once fibrosis spreads to form stones, it can not only cause more severe physical discomfort but also make treatment relatively more difficult. In your daily life, pay attention to avoiding prolonged sitting and consuming spicy or irritating foods. Abstain from alcohol. Prostatic calcification can be alleviated, but the treatment process is usually slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medications should be used according to symptoms during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover as soon as possible!
