Patient's question:
I have some prostatitis. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, I was also found to have prostatic calcification. Now the inflammation has been controlled, and there are no major issues, but I am very concerned about this prostatic calcification. Could you please tell me: How can prostatic calcification be treated?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification is a scar left behind after prostatitis inflammation heals. It generally does not require treatment, and the medication you mentioned is ineffective for prostatic calcification. In daily life, it is advisable to exercise more, avoid prolonged sitting and holding urine, maintain good hygiene of the external genitalia, refrain from sexual intercourse, maintain a regular sexual life, avoid high-calcium, high-fat, high-cholesterol, spicy, and other foods, as well as avoiding smoking and alcohol. These measures are beneficial for preventing the recurrence of prostatic diseases. For patients with prostatic calcification, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely and symptomatic treatment, and maintain a regular sexual life while avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
