Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing severe lower back pain, and I also have some urinary frequency and urgency. I thought it was a recurrence of prostatitis, but it turned out to be calcification. What are the causes of prostate calcification?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 calcification tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is crucial to visit a professional and reputable hospital for diagnosis and consider treatment based on examination results. Additionally, it is important to restrict sexual activity and maintain a positive mood. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
