Patient's question:
Previously, during a physical examination, I was found to have prostatic calcification. Since there were no symptoms, I didn't take it seriously. However, recently I've been feeling unwell and wondering if it could be related to this prostatic calcification. Could you please advise on how to treat prostatic calcification more quickly?Doctor's answer:
Excuse me, do you have any discomfort symptoms? Prostatic calcification is a very common phenomenon in middle-aged and elderly men, and it generally does not cause discomfort. It is usually related to prostatitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia. If there are no discomfort symptoms, it is generally recommended not to undergo treatment. Additionally, it is advised to engage in appropriate physical exercise to enhance physical fitness. If there are discomfort symptoms, it is recommended to have a routine examination of prostatic fluid if necessary. The condition of prostatic calcification tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. Moreover, for male patients, it is necessary to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, attention should be paid to quitting smoking and drinking alcohol, as well as maintaining personal hygiene. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
