Patient's question:
During the 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. Nevertheless, since there is an issue, I would still like to seek treatment. Could you please tell me if there are effective methods for treating prostatic calcification?Doctor's answer:
Recurrent prostatic calcification or stones must be treated. Fibrosis can expand into stones, triggering various symptoms. Some patients may have symptoms that persist for a long time and cannot be completely resolved, requiring a comprehensive and thorough examination to determine if there are stones or fibrosis. Without treating the stones or fibrosis, it is difficult for prostatic diseases to heal completely on their own.Antibiotic treatment is currently the most basic and commonly used method for treating prostatic calcification. Antibiotics for acute prostatitis are effective in controlling clinical symptoms, and prostatic calcification can be stabilized. However, the treatment period is generally long, and relapse is prone to occur after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's treatment plan is essential during the course of treatment.
