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 go for a follow-up check-up to see if everything was fine, but the result showed that there is a problem with prostate calcification. I am concerned that this condition might affect my health. Could you please tell me: How can prostatitis calcification be treated to be cured?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification is caused by previous prostatitis, leaving 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.Prostatic hyperplasia is usually caused by the gradual expansion of chronic prostatitis, often resulting from bacterial infiltration. Due to its recurrent nature and difficulty in self-healing, it brings significant pain to many patients. It is necessary to undergo thorough examinations and tests in a specialized hospital to determine the cause for targeted treatment. Many details in daily life also require coordination with the doctor's treatment.
