Patient's question:
I once had prostatitis and went to the hospital for treatment. After taking medication, it went away, and I haven't had it since. Recently, I went for a physical examination at a hospital and was told I have prostate calcification. What are the specific treatments for prostate calcification?Doctor's answer:
Hello, antibiotic therapy is currently the basic and commonly used method for treating prostatic calcification. For acute prostatitis, antibiotic therapy is still effective in controlling clinical symptoms. However, for chronic prostatitis, the therapeutic effect is unsatisfactory. First, the drug resistance of bacteria, pathogens, and microorganisms is an obstacle that antibiotics cannot overcome. Second, it is difficult for the drug to reach an effective concentration within the acini, making it hard to achieve therapeutic effects for prostatic calcification.
