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 have been feeling unwell and wonder if it could be related to this prostatic calcification. Please ask: What methods are used to treat prostatic calcification?Doctor's answer:
This is the main manifestation of benign prostatic hyperplasia, characterized by symptoms such as frequent urination, urinary urgency, difficulty urinating, increased nocturia, urinary incontinence during filling, as well as acute and chronic urinary retention. Medications such as Propecia (finasteride tablets), Flomax (tamsulosin capsules), doxazosin, alfuzosin, terazosin, tamsulosin, eroterone, and Sanctura can be used for treatment. Prostatic calcification can be recovered, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's treatment plan, appropriate medication use, and avoiding prolonged sitting or riding are essential. Additionally, patients should pay attention to personal hygiene. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
