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 go for a follow-up check-up to see if everything was still fine. However, I found that there is a problem of prostate calcification. I am concerned that this condition might affect my health. Could you please recommend a good hospital for treating prostate calcification?Doctor's answer:
Hello, prostate calcification is the scar left behind after the prostate undergoes secondary inflammation and fibrosis. It usually doesn't cause symptoms and can be seen through a careful ultrasound examination. I suggest you not to worry about it, as it doesn't require treatment. You just need to do periodic prostate MRI examinations. Prostate calcification can be stable, but the treatment process is generally slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid spicy foods, and not smoke or drink beer. I hope male patients can recover as soon as possible!
