Patient's question:
I have some prostatitis. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, it was found that there was also a condition of prostate calcification. Now the inflammation has been controlled, and there are no major issues, but I am very concerned about this prostate calcification problem. Could you please ask: How much does it cost to treat prostate calcification?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcifications are hiding places for bacteria, which is one of the reasons why chronic prostatitis recurs repeatedly and is difficult to recover from. Prostatic calcifications 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 calcifications may be a problem related to stones, but apart from stones, other causes such as prostatic tuberculosis, recurring prostate damage, parasite eggs, and calcified tumors can also lead to prostatic calcifications. Moreover, normal individuals can also have mild prostatic calcifications.
