Patient's question:
I always feel that the area of my prostate is not very comfortable. After a check-up, it was found that there are calcifications present. The doctor said that treatment is not necessary, but I am very worried, so I would like to consult. Please ask: What are the potential harms that prostate calcification can lead to?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification can expand into prostatic calculi. Prostatic calcification develops to a certain extent and then forms prostatic calculi. Once prostatic calcification occurs, it is often a precursor to prostatic calculi, so it requires sufficient attention and should not be allowed to progress.Prostatic calcification can alleviate symptoms of prostatitis. The areas of prostatic calcification are prone to bacterial attachment and proliferation, which helps relieve symptoms of prostatitis and makes the condition recurrent and difficult to heal on its own.
Prostatic calcification occurs in patients with prostatitis. Here, we advise patients with prostatitis to ensure proper post-inflammation care after the condition heals to prevent the recurrence of calcification foci.
