Patient's question:
Health check, I was diagnosed with prostate calcification. What are the symptoms of prostate calcification?Doctor's answer:
1. In the early stages, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) compresses the posterior urethra and bladder neck, leading to symptoms such as frequent urination and urgency.2. There is a sense of urgency, but the urine cannot be expelled quickly. Urination becomes less smooth than before, with longer duration, a feeling of incomplete emptying, and difficulty urinating.
3. Long-term obstruction of the bladder neck by the intestine can easily cause acute urinary tract infections, which may alleviate the aforementioned symptoms.
4. Acute urinary retention occurs when sudden congestion and edema of the prostate and bladder neck, triggered by factors such as alcohol consumption, cold exposure, overexertion, sexual activity, or holding urine, lead to acute obstruction and inability to void voluntarily.
5. Conditions such as hydronephrosis, impaired renal function, and clinical recurrence of azotemia may also manifest symptoms like reduced appetite, nausea, vomiting, and anemia.
