Patient's question:
During a routine physical examination at my workplace, it was found that I have prostatic calcification. However, I haven't felt any discomfort in my daily life. Since there is an issue, I still hope to get it treated. Could you please advise on how to properly treat prostatic calcification?Doctor's answer:
Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:I. Digital rectal examination (DRE). This is the simplest method for carefully examining the prostate. It can assess 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 methods 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 for maintenance.
