Patient's question:
I have some prostatitis. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, it was found that there was also prostatic calcification. Now the inflammation has been controlled, and there are no major problems, but I am very concerned about this issue of prostatic calcification. Could you please tell me: what are the harms of prostatic calcification to the human body?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification can expand into prostatic calculi. When prostatic calcification progresses to a certain extent, it constitutes prostatic calculi. Once prostatic calcification is detected, it is often a precursor to prostatic calculi, so it requires sufficient attention and should not be allowed to develop further. Prostatic calcification can alleviate symptoms of prostatitis. The areas of prostatic calcification are prone to bacterial attachment and proliferation, which can alleviate symptoms of prostatitis and make 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 inflammation subsides to prevent the recurrence of calcification foci. Once fibrotic spots are detected, it is essential to seek medical attention and treatment promptly.
