Patient's question:
During the routine physical examination at the unit, it was found that I have prostatic calcification. However, I haven't felt any discomfort either. Since there is an issue, I still hope to get it treated. Could you please ask: How is it usually better to check for prostatic calcification?Doctor's answer:
Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:I. Digital Rectal Exam (DRE). This is the simplest method for a thorough examination of the prostate gland. It allows for assessment of the prostate's size, shape, and tenderness, enabling preliminary diagnosis and screening for prostate diseases.
II. Ultrasound Examination. Ultrasound is a common method for examining the prostate gland. It includes methods such as transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) and transabdominal ultrasound. It can provide accurate measurements of the prostate, with an error margin of less than 5%. It holds significant importance for the definitive diagnosis of various prostate diseases. For patients with prostate calcification, timely treatment can help reduce the condition's progression. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should receive timely, appropriate treatment, and in daily life, they should avoid overexertion and pay attention to personal hygiene. We wish you a speedy recovery.
