Patient's question:
I have some prostatitis. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, it was found that there was also a condition of prostate calcification. Now the inflammation has been controlled, and there are no major issues, but I am very concerned about this prostate calcification problem. Please ask: What does a prostate calcification check involve?Doctor's answer:
I. Digital rectal examination. This is the simplest method for a thorough examination of the prostate, allowing for the assessment of the size, shape, and tenderness of the prostate, thereby enabling preliminary diagnosis and screening for prostate diseases.II. Ultrasound examination. Ultrasound is a common method for examining the prostate, with approaches such as transrectal detection and suprapubic abdominal detection. It can accurately measure the prostate, with an error margin of no more than 5%. It holds significant importance for the diagnosis of various prostate diseases. Prostate calcification tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. Additionally, male patients should seek medical attention at professional and reputable hospitals promptly, and treatment should be considered based on examination results. It is also important to restrict sexual activity and maintain a positive mood. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
