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. Could you please tell me what the most effective treatment for prostatic calcification is?Doctor's answer:
Hello, prostate calcification is the scar left behind by recurrent inflammation of the prostate, a precursor to prostate stones, and a common complication of sexual prostatitis. Prostate calcification foci serve as hiding places for bacteria, and treatments such as medication and microwave therapy cannot completely remove them. This is one of the reasons why chronic prostatitis tends to recur and is difficult to recover from. Most patients with advanced prostate inflammation have fibrotic plaques. It is recommended to seek prompt examination and treatment at a formal urological hospital. Lifestyle adjustments for prostate health include: drinking plenty of water, avoiding prolonged sitting, staying active, consuming spicy and irritating foods, refraining from alcohol and smoking, and regulating sexual activity.
