Patient's question:
Below it has been uncomfortable all along, but I didn't pay much attention, thinking it would get better in a few days. However, not only did it not improve, but it worsened. I went for a check-up and found it was prostate calcification. I'd like to ask, what could be the cause of this?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification and fibrosis are fibrotic patches left behind after prostatitis heals, indicating the presence of prostatic calculi. Prostatic calculi are often accompanied by chronic prostatitis, and these conditions can only be detected through careful ultrasound examinations. Additionally, prostatic calcifications form calcified nodules in the prostate, which serve as primary hiding places for bacteria. Medications, microwaves, and other treatments cannot effectively remove these calcifications, contributing to the recurring and difficult-to-treat nature of chronic prostatitis. The recurrence of prostatic calcification is usually caused by delayed treatment of prostatitis. Therefore, to treat prostatic calcification, the underlying prostatitis must first be addressed.
