Patient's question:
I always feel a bit uncomfortable in my prostate area. After a check-up, it was found that there are calcifications present. The doctor said it doesn't require treatment, but I'm very worried, so I wanted to consult. Could you please ask: How should I treat prostate calcification?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification is very common; many young people have it, and most older individuals do as well. It does not interfere with health and requires no treatment or specific methods. If there are no discomforts, normal life is maintained, and it is advisable to avoid beer, prolonged sitting, and excessive indulgence. However, if there are noticeable symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, pain during urination, and a feeling of fullness in the perineum, further examination is recommended to determine if chronic prostatitis or prostatic calcification is present. These conditions can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's medication plan is essential during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope that male patients can recover quickly!
