Patient's question:
Previously, during a physical examination, I was found to have prostatic calcification. Since there were no symptoms, I didn't take it seriously. Recently, I've been feeling unwell and wondering if it could be related to this prostatic calcification. Please ask: How should common prostatic calcification be treated to improve?Doctor's answer:
Hello, prostate calcification is the scar left behind after the prostate undergoes secondary inflammation and fibrosis, serving as a precursor to prostate stones. Prostate calcification is formed due to inflammation, skin breakdown, tissue necrosis, and the subsequent calcium deposition during the healing process. Generally, it shows no symptoms and does not require treatment. If there is significant discomfort, surgical treatment should be considered. In such cases, it is advisable to avoid spicy (such as seafood, especially shrimp) and pungent foods, alcohol (as drinking can easily trigger prostate disease), and smoking. Drinking plenty of water and urinating frequently helps maintain smooth bowel and bladder function, aiding in the excretion of prostate secretions. Avoid prolonged inactivity and maintain appropriate physical exercise to promote blood circulation, which facilitates the absorption of local inflammation. A nutritious diet can enhance immune function and strengthen disease resistance.
