Patient's question:
I have some prostatitis. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, it was found that there was also a condition of prostate calcification. Now the inflammation has been controlled, and there are no major issues, but I am very concerned about this prostate calcification problem. Could you please ask: How long does it take to treat prostate calcification?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification and fibrosis are scars left by recurrent prostatitis, often indicating the precursor to prostatic calculi. Prostatic calculi are frequently accompanied by chronic prostatitis. These conditions are typically identified through careful ultrasound examinations. Due to the unique anatomical structure of the prostate, there are generally no effective treatments for recurrent fibrosis or calculi. Bacteria tend to grow on calcified (fibrotic) stones and calculi, which can lead to recurrent episodes of prostatitis and should not be overlooked. Therefore, if symptoms of prostatic disease appear, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly for a thorough examination of prostatic calcification, as it can be treated and resolved.
