Patient's question:
I feel very uncomfortable in my private area, and that feeling cannot be described. It affects my work and life very much, and it's very troublesome. How should early prostate calcification be treated?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, prostate calcifications are often the result of fibrotic patches left behind after a previous prostate inflammation has healed. Prostate calcifications indicate that there was a past inflammation that is now dormant. If there are no symptoms, treatment is not necessary. If it leads to urinary difficulties, it is important to seek follow-up care at a reputable urological hospital promptly. If a man experiences recurring prostate calcifications or stones, immediate treatment is required. This is because fibrosis can expand into stones, causing various symptoms. Some patients may have persistent symptoms that do not fully resolve, and in such cases, a comprehensive examination should be conducted to determine if there is prostate stone fibrosis. Without treating the stone fibrosis, it is difficult for the prostate condition to heal completely on its own.
