Patient's question:
I previously had prostatitis, and in the past few years, it has been well-controlled without recurrence. The other day, I planned to have a follow-up check-up to see if everything was fine, but the result showed the presence of prostate calcification. I am concerned that this condition might affect my health. Could you please advise on how to alleviate prostate calcification?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, working overtime, and maintain a regular lifestyle to prevent colds. Colds and overexertion can easily lead to a weakened immune system, making it more prone to recurrent prostatitis. Prostatic calcification can be alleviated, but the treatment process is usually slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medication should be used according to symptoms during treatment. Additionally, patients should follow a light diet, avoid spicy foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
