What tests are needed to confirm prostatic calcification?

Patient's question:

Patient is male, recently feeling unwell, suspecting a problem with the prostate. What tests are needed to confirm prostate calcification?

Doctor's answer:

1. Digital rectal examination. This is the simplest method for a thorough examination of the prostate, allowing for the assessment of the size, shape, and tenderness of the prostate, thereby enabling preliminary diagnosis and screening for prostate diseases.
2. Ultrasound examination. Ultrasound is a common method for examining the prostate, with methods such as transrectal detection and suprapubic abdominal detection. It can accurately measure the prostate with an error margin of no more than 5%. It holds significant diagnostic importance for various prostate diseases.
In addition, during the treatment of prostate conditions, apart from symptomatic treatment, dietary habits and mental state are also crucial. It is essential to maintain a positive mood and adopt a proper diet.
