Patient's question:
It is said that prostatitis can easily lead to prostate calcification. I had prostatitis two years ago and have since recovered. However, I've been experiencing discomfort in my prostate recently and suspect I might have developed prostate calcification. What treatment methods are best for male prostate calcification?Doctor's answer:
Hello, prostatic calcification can cause urinary tract infections, chronic prostatitis, and split prostatic hyperplasia, among other conditions, which may have adverse effects on the treatment of other concurrent symptoms. Methods such as drug therapy, physical therapy, and surgical treatment can be implemented. It is recommended that you first undergo a hospital examination.When prostatic calculi are large in size and numerous, transperineal prostatectomy may be necessary. Simply removing the calculi and extracting them often leads to the reformation of stones within the prostatic cavity. Prostatic calcification poses significant harm to patients. Once symptoms are detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly and pay close attention to self-care, such as eating vegetables and fruits while avoiding irritating foods. We hope that patients with prostatic calcification can receive professional treatment.
