Patient's question:
I previously had prostatitis, and in the past few years, it has been well-controlled without recurrence. The other day, I planned to have a follow-up check-up to see if everything was fine, but the result showed the presence of prostate calcification. I am concerned that this condition might affect my health. Could you please tell me where it is professionally treated for prostate calcification?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification and fibrosis are scars left behind after recurrent prostatitis, indicating the potential for future prostatic calculi. Prostatic calculi are often accompanied by chronic prostatitis, which can usually be detected through careful ultrasound examination. Due to the unique structure of the prostate, there are generally no effective treatments for recurrent fibrosis or calculi. Bacteria tend to grow on calcified (fibrotic) stones, making them a recurring cause of prostatitis that should not be ignored. Fibrotic spots in the prostate are typically caused by chronic prostatitis or prostatic calculi and generally do not cause symptoms or require treatment.
