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 have a follow-up check-up to see if everything was fine, but the result showed that there is a problem of prostate calcification. I am concerned that this condition might affect my health. Could you please tell me: How can prostate calcification be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification is generally caused by previous prostatitis, leaving behind fibrotic spots after healing. For your condition, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible for proper diagnosis and treatment. Once fibrosis spreads to form stones, it not only brings more severe discomfort to your body but also makes treatment relatively more difficult. In your daily life, pay attention to avoiding prolonged sitting and refrain from consuming spicy and irritating foods. Abstinence from alcohol is also crucial for patients with prostatic calcification. Timely treatment can help reduce the incidence of the condition, but if left untreated, it may affect your overall health. Therefore, patients should receive timely and targeted treatment, and in daily life, they should avoid overexertion and pay attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
