Patient's question:
I previously had prostatitis, and in these past few years, it has been well-controlled without recurrence. The other day, I planned to go for 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 tell me: How can prostate calcification be effectively treated?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification spots are scars left behind after prostatitis inflammation heals. Generally, they do not cause discomfort and do not require treatment. Proper lifestyle adjustments are sufficient, and they will never cause abnormalities or discomfort. If there are urinary abnormalities, oral medication can be taken.Engage in regular activity, avoid riding bicycles or horses, and do not sit for long periods or hold in urine. Do not wear tight underwear, avoid sexual activity, maintain a regular sexual life, do not drink alcohol, and avoid spicy, high-calcium, high-fat, seafood, fried foods, etc. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and drink plenty of water.
For patients with prostatic calcification, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
