Patient's question:
I previously had prostatitis, and in the past few years, it has been well-controlled without recurrence. The other day, I planned to have a follow-up check-up to see if everything was fine, but the result showed that there is a problem of prostate calcification. I am concerned that this condition might affect my health. Could you please tell me: How can prostatitis calcification be treated and improved quickly?Doctor's answer:
The prostate is a male-specific organ with glands that gradually become fibrotic and enlarged with age. The prostate is often affected by inflammatory stimuli, its own changes, and age-related enlargement, leading to aging and degenerative changes, which is known as fibrosis. Fibrosis does not require treatment; it is a transformed state after degeneration, such as gradual fibrosis following inflammation or fibrosis after enlargement. It is recommended to sit less frequently, avoid alcohol, eat fewer spicy foods, and drink more water—these lifestyle habits can protect the prostate. For patients with prostate calcification, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek appropriate treatment promptly and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
