Patient's question:
Recently, I felt unwell and went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The result was that I was diagnosed with prostatic calcification. I don't know why I developed prostatic calcification, so I want to learn more about how to effectively treat it.Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification is caused by previous prostatitis, leaving behind fibrotic patches after healing. Prostatic calcification indicates that there was inflammation in the past, which is now inactive. If there are no symptoms, treatment is not necessary. If it leads to urinary difficulties, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If it is only prostatic calcification without any active inflammation, treatment is not required, as medication is ineffective. If prostatitis is present, treating the prostatitis is sufficient. For patients with prostatic calcification, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
