Patient's question:
Previously, during a physical examination, I was found to have prostatic calcification. Since there were no symptoms, I didn't take it seriously. However, recently I've been feeling unwell and wondering if it could be related to this prostatic calcification. Please ask: How is prostatic calcification treated?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification is formed due to inflammation, peeling, tissue necrosis, and the deposition of calcium during the healing process of the prostate. Generally, it does not cause symptoms and does not require treatment. If there are obvious discomforts, surgical treatment can be considered. It is recommended to visit a regular hospital for a thorough examination and formulate an additional treatment plan based on the examination results. Prostatic calcification is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek professional and regular medical attention promptly, and treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity are advised. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
