Patient's question:
Male, there is no feeling of discomfort in the body, but the physical examination at the unit said I have prostatic calcification? How is it better to treat prostatic calcification?Doctor's answer:
Fibrosis in the prostate is difficult to detect, but it is a precursor to prostate stones. Prostate stones are often accompanied by chronic prostatitis, and these inflammations are generally only visible through careful ultrasound examinations. Prostatic calcification occurs due to previous prostatitis, leaving behind fibrotic spots after healing, which can lead to difficulties in urination. If prostate calcification or stones reappear, treatment is necessary. Fibrosis can expand into stones, causing various symptoms. Some patients may experience persistent symptoms that cannot be completely resolved, requiring a comprehensive examination to determine if there are stones or fibrosis. Without treating the stones or fibrosis, it is difficult for prostatitis to heal completely on its own.
