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, but the result showed that there is a problem of prostate calcification. I am concerned that this condition might affect my health. Please ask: What can I eat if I have prostate calcification?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification foci are hiding places for bacteria. Medications, microwaves, and other methods cannot completely remove them, which is one of the reasons why chronic prostatitis recurs repeatedly and is difficult to relieve. Prostatic calcification foci cannot completely disappear, and there is no need to strive for their complete disappearance. As long as they are within a certain range, they will never affect the body. After prostatitis improves, fibrosis does not require treatment.Prostatic calcification foci may be a problem related to stones, but in addition to stones, other causes such as prostatic tuberculosis, recurrent prostate damage, parasite eggs, and calcified tumors can also lead to prostatic calcification foci. Moreover, normal individuals can also have mild prostatic calcification foci.
