Patient's question:
Often appearing with symptoms such as frequent urination, incomplete urination, and difficulty urinating, it is said that it is prostatic calcification. How should prostatic calcification be treated and what medication should be taken? Thank youDoctor's answer:
A color ultrasound examination carefully checked the prostate calcification foci, confirming the presence of prostatitis. The cause is that the external sphincter muscle cannot fully relax during urination, allowing infected urine to flow backward through the prostate ducts and deposit, forming calcification foci. Once calcification foci form in the prostate, they are difficult to remove solely through medication. If there are no symptoms of prostatitis, special treatment may not be necessary, and regular follow-up checks are sufficient. However, if treatment is required, surgery is necessary to completely cure it. Prostate calcification can be recovered, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medications must be used according to symptoms. Additionally, it is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle and proper diet during treatment. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
