Patient's question:
During a routine physical examination at my workplace, it was found that I have prostatic calcification. However, I haven't felt any discomfort in my daily life. Since there is an issue, I still hope to get it treated. Could you please advise on how to treat prostatic calcification effectively?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification is caused by previous prostatitis, leaving behind fibrotic patches after healing. Prostatic calcification indicates that there was inflammation in the past, which is now inactive. If there are no discomfort symptoms, treatment is generally not necessary. It is important to avoid overexertion and overtime work, maintain a regular lifestyle, and prevent colds. Colds and overexertion can easily lead to a weakened immune system, making it more likely for prostatic diseases to recur. Prostatic calcification tends to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is essential to actively seek diagnosis from professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on examination results. Additionally, it is important to moderate sexual activity, maintain a positive mood, and wish all patients a speedy recovery.
