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 go for a follow-up check-up to see if everything was fine, but the result showed the presence of prostate calcification. I am concerned that this condition might affect my health. Could you please tell me: How should prostate calcification be treated?Doctor's answer:
Excuse me, do you have any discomfort symptoms? Prostate calcification is a common phenomenon in middle-aged and elderly men, and it usually does not cause discomfort. It is generally related to prostatitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia. If there are no discomfort symptoms, it is recommended that treatment is not necessary. Additionally, it is advised to engage in appropriate physical exercise to enhance physical fitness. If there are discomfort symptoms, it is recommended to undergo a routine examination of prostatic fluid when necessary. Prostate calcification can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medication appropriately, and patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay attention to personal hygiene. It is hoped that male patients can recover as soon as possible.
