Patient's question:
During the routine physical examination at the unit, it was found that I have prostatic calcification. However, I haven't felt any discomfort either. Since there is an issue, I still hope to be treated. Could you please advise which specialists are better to consult for prostatic calcification?Doctor's answer:
Hello, prostate calcification is the scar left behind after the prostate undergoes inflammation and scarring again. It usually doesn't cause symptoms, and these inflammatory changes can often be seen through a careful ultrasound examination. I suggest you not to worry about it, as it doesn't require treatment. You just need to do periodic prostate MRI examinations. The condition of prostate calcification is prone to recurrence, and long-term medication is necessary. Moreover, for male patients, it's important to seek medical treatment at professional and reputable hospitals, and treatment should be considered based on examination results. Also, pay attention to a proper diet and avoid sexual activity. Finally, I wish all patients a speedy recovery.
