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 is the best way to treat prostate calcification?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification is caused by a previous prostatitis, which leaves behind fibrotic patches after healing. Prostatic calcification indicates that there was inflammation in the past, which is now inactive. If there are no symptoms, treatment is not necessary. If it leads to urinary difficulties, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.If prostatic calcification or stones reappear, treatment is required. Fibrosis can expand into stones, causing various symptoms. Some patients may experience long-term symptoms that cannot be fully resolved. A comprehensive examination is necessary to determine if there are stones or fibrosis. Without treating the stones or fibrosis, it is difficult for the prostatic disease to heal completely on its own.
