Patient's question:
I always feel that the area of my prostate is not very comfortable. After checking, it was found that there are calcifications present. The doctor said that treatment is not necessary, but I am very worried, so I would like to consult. Please ask: How should prostate calcifications be treated to be safe?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification is one of the common prostatic inflammatory conditions in men, often recurring between the ages of 40 and 60. In pathology, fibrosis refers to the deposition of calcium salts in local tissues, which can be a normal physiological process or occur in certain pathological conditions. Due to the lack of typical clinical symptoms and signs, prostatic calcification is often detected through imaging studies during the examination for prostatic diseases or other urinary system disorders. In imaging studies, prostatic calcification appears as hyperechoic foci or high-density foci within the prostate. With the widespread adoption and reduction in cost of magnetic resonance technology, the detection rate of prostatic calcification has significantly increased. Prostatic calcification can be stable without treatment, but the treatment process is generally slow, and recurrence is common after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's medication plan is essential during treatment.
