Patient's question:
I previously had prostatitis, and in these 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 of prostate calcification. I am concerned that this condition might affect my health. Could you please tell me: What are the treatment methods for prostate calcification?Doctor's answer:
This is the main manifestation of benign prostatic hyperplasia, which includes symptoms such as frequent urination, urinary urgency, difficulty urinating, increased nocturia, overflow incontinence, and acute or chronic urinary retention. Medications such as Propecia (finasteride tablets), Flomax (tamsulosin capsules), doxazosin, alfuzosin, terazosin, tamsulosin, eroterone, and Sanctura can be used for treatment. The condition of prostate calcification is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. Moreover, for male patients, it is important to seek professional and regular medical diagnosis in a hospital and consider treatment based on thorough examination results. Additionally, pay attention to a proper diet and avoid sexual activity. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
