Patient's question:
I always feel that the area of my prostate is not very comfortable. After checking, it was found that there are calcifications present. The doctor said that treatment is not necessary, but I am very worried, so I want to consult. Please ask: How should the treatment be for prostate calcification?Doctor's answer:
From the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), prostate calcification is believed to be caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis in the prostate area, as well as damp-heat in the lower jiao. Treatment requires herbal formulas that clear damp-heat and promote blood circulation to resolve stasis. Generally, a treatment period of about two months is recommended. However, it is better to consult an experienced TCM practitioner who can tailor the herbal prescription to your specific constitution for faster improvement. Once the condition improves, it will not interfere with fertility. For patients with prostate calcification, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely and symptomatic treatment, and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
