Patient's question:
I previously had prostatitis, and for several years, it was well-controlled. There were some relapses, but I planned to go for a follow-up check-up in two days to see. The result showed the presence of prostate calcification, and I am concerned that this condition might affect my health. Question: Is it very harmful to have prostate calcification?Doctor's answer:
Hello, prostate calcification is a symptom that reappears in the prostate, leaving behind scars after prostatitis heals. Generally, it does not cause discomfort and does not require treatment. It is important to pay attention to prostate health, exercise, avoid prolonged sitting and holding urine, maintain good hygiene, wear loose underwear, have a regular sexual life, drink water, moderate alcohol consumption, and avoid spicy foods to prevent the recurrence of prostatitis. For patients, if the condition of prostate calcification is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be initiated. Inappropriate medication, however, may lead to a recurrence of prostate calcification. Additionally, patients should maintain a positive mood to avoid worsening the condition. I hope the answers to these questions can help everyone. Thank you.
