Patient's question:
It is said that prostatitis can easily lead to prostate calcification. I had prostatitis two years ago and have since recovered, but recently my prostate has been uncomfortable again. I suspect I might have developed prostate calcification. What should I do if I have prostate calcification?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification is actually a manifestation of chronic prostatitis, which is caused by prolonged sitting, holding urine, and a diet that is spicy and irritating. Before treatment, it is essential to first confirm the diagnosis before proceeding with further treatment. It is recommended that you first have a routine examination of prostatic fluid. If the white blood cell count decreases and the amount of lecithin corpuscles increases, it proves to be prostatitis, which requires anti-inflammatory, heat-clearing, and dampness-dispelling treatment. Prostatic calcification can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medications must be used according to symptoms. Additionally, it is advised to adopt a healthy lifestyle and maintain a proper diet during the treatment period. It is hoped that male patients can recover as soon as possible.
