Patient's question:
I always feel a bit uncomfortable in my prostate area. After a check-up, it was found that there are calcifications present. The doctor said it doesn't require treatment, but I'm very worried, so I'd like to consult. Could you please tell me: How should I treat prostate calcification?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification is one of the common prostatic inflammatory conditions in men, frequently occurring again between the ages of 40 and 60. The term "fibrosis" refers, in pathology, to the deposition of calcium salts in local tissues, which can be a normal physiological process or seen in certain pathological conditions. Due to the lack of typical clinical diagnostic symptoms and signs, prostatic calcification is often discovered through imaging studies during the examination for prostatic diseases or other urinary system disorders. In imaging studies, prostatic calcification appears as strong echo foci or high-density foci within the prostate. With the widespread adoption and reduction in cost of magnetic resonance technology, the detection rate of prostatic calcification has significantly increased.
