Patient's question:
During the routine physical examination at my workplace, it was found that I have prostatic calcification. However, I haven't felt any discomfort in my daily life. Since there is an issue, I still hope to get it treated. Could you please tell me: How is early prostatic calcification treated?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, prostate calcifications are often the result of fibrotic patches left behind after a previous prostate inflammation has healed. Prostate calcifications indicate that there was a past inflammation that is now dormant. If there are no symptoms, treatment is not necessary. If it leads to urinary difficulties, it is important to seek follow-up treatment at a formal urological hospital promptly. If a man experiences recurrent prostate calcifications or stones, immediate treatment is required, as fibrosis can expand into stones, causing various symptoms. Some patients may have symptoms that persist for a long time and cannot be fully resolved. In such cases, a comprehensive examination should be conducted to determine if there is prostate stone fibrosis. Without treating the stone fibrosis, it is difficult to achieve a complete recovery from prostate diseases.
