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. However, recently I've been feeling unwell and wonder if it could be related to this prostatic calcification. Here's my question: What should a person with prostatic calcification do to ensure safety?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification foci are hiding places for bacteria. Drugs, microwave therapy, and other methods cannot completely remove them, which is one of the reasons why chronic prostatitis recurs repeatedly and is difficult to heal on its own. Prostatic calcification foci cannot completely disappear, and there is no need to strive for their complete disappearance. As long as they are within a certain range, they will never affect the body. After prostatitis improves, fibrosis does not require treatment.Prostatic calcification foci may be related to stones, but apart from stones, other conditions such as prostatic tuberculosis, recurrent prostate injury, parasitic eggs, and calcified tumors can also lead to prostatic calcification foci. Moreover, normal individuals can also have mild prostatic calcification foci.
