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. How should prostate calcification be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Fibrotic spots in the prostate generally indicate a history of chronic prostatitis that has healed, leaving behind remnants. They only signify that there was inflammation in the past, and it usually does not cause any symptoms now, so treatment is not necessary. Unless there are obvious symptoms such as difficulty urinating, or if the prostatitis recurs repeatedly, then treatment options like anti-inflammatory medication or surgery may need to be considered. If only prostate calcification spots are detected on examination without other symptoms, treatment is not required.Prostate calcification tends to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is essential to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital immediately. Treatment should be decided based on examination results. Additionally, it is important to moderate sexual activity and maintain a positive mood. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
