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 the best treatment for prostate calcification?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification is essentially prostatic calculi. Currently, Western medicine lacks effective treatment methods, as surgery causes significant harm, and it is generally not performed unless absolutely necessary. Herbal formulas can be taken, similar to the principle of dissolving stones in other organs. In my clinical practice, the efficacy of these formulas has been quite promising. Prostatic calcification tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. Additionally, male patients should actively seek diagnosis at professional and reputable hospitals, and treatment should be considered based on thorough examination results. Furthermore, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, maintain good personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
