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. Please ask: How is prostate calcification caused?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification foci are hiding places for bacteria. Medications, microwaves, and other methods cannot completely remove them, which is one of the reasons why chronic prostatitis recurs repeatedly and is difficult to relieve. Prostatic calcification foci 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 is cured, fibrosis does not require treatment.Prostatic calcification foci may be related to stone issues, but in addition to stones, other causes such as prostatic tuberculosis, recurrent prostate damage, parasite eggs, and calcified tumors can also lead to prostatic calcification foci. Moreover, normal individuals can also have mild prostatic calcification foci.
