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 would still like to seek treatment. Could you please provide some common knowledge about prostatic calcification?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification is mostly scars left behind by previous prostatic inflammation. If the calcification spots are small, they do not require treatment and generally do not interfere with health. However, if the calcification spots are large, they may lead to recurrent inflammation.In daily life, it is important to stay active, avoid prolonged sitting and holding urine, wear loose underwear, refrain from sexual activity, and maintain a regular and hygienic sexual routine. Drinking plenty of water, eating fresh vegetables and fruits, and avoiding spicy, seafood, high-fat, high-calcium, and high-cholesterol foods, as well as avoiding smoking and alcohol, are beneficial for prostate health.
For patients with prostatic calcification, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely and appropriate treatment, and in daily life, they should avoid overexertion and pay attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
