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 fine, but the result showed that there is a problem with prostate calcification. I am concerned that this condition might affect my health. Could you please tell me: How can prostatitis calcification be treated quickly?Doctor's answer:
Fibrotic spots in the prostate generally indicate a history of chronic prostatitis that has healed, leaving behind remnants. They merely signify that inflammation occurred in the past and typically do not cause any symptoms currently, nor do they require treatment. Unless there are obvious symptoms like difficulty urinating, or if the prostatitis recurs frequently, then treatment options such as anti-inflammatory medication or surgery may need to be considered. If only a careful examination reveals prostate calcification spots without other symptoms, treatment is not necessary. Prostate calcification can be recovered, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's treatment, appropriate medication, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle with proper diet during treatment are highly recommended. We hope male patients can recover as soon as possible!
