Patient's question:
I've been feeling uncomfortable at the urethral opening when urinating recently. When it's cold, there's an increase in urination frequency, and the urine lacks strength. I'm very scared, fearing a serious illness. If prostate calcification is discovered, how can it be effectively treated?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcifications are hiding places for bacteria. Drugs, microwaves, and other methods cannot eliminate them, which is one of the reasons why chronic prostatitis recurs frequently and is difficult to treat. Prostatic calcifications cannot completely disappear, and there is no need to strive for their disappearance. As long as they are within a certain range, they will never affect the body. After prostatitis improves, fibrosis does not require treatment.Prostatic calcifications may be related to stones, but apart from stones, other causes such as prostatic tuberculosis, recurrent prostate damage, parasite eggs, and calcified tumors can also lead to prostatic calcifications. Moreover, normal individuals can also have mild prostatic calcifications.
To determine the exact cause of prostatic calcifications, a doctor needs to assess their location, symptoms, and other examinations.
