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. I would like to ask: How should prostatic calcification be treated?Doctor's answer:
Fibrotic spots in the prostate generally indicate a history of chronic prostatitis that has healed, merely representing past inflammation. They usually do not cause any symptoms now and do not require treatment. Unless there are obvious symptoms such as difficulty urinating, or recurrent episodes of prostatitis are involved, then treatment options like anti-inflammatory medication or surgery may need to be considered. If only prostate calcification spots are found during a careful examination with no other symptoms, no treatment is necessary.Prostate calcification can be stable, but the treatment process is usually slow, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor and appropriate medication are essential during treatment.
