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: What should be done after developing prostate calcification?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification is one of the common prostatic inflammatory conditions in men, often occurring again in the age range of 40 to 60. The term fibrosis, in pathology, refers to the deposition of calcium salts in local tissues, which can be a normal physiological process or seen in certain pathological conditions. Due to the lack of typical clinical diagnostic symptoms and signs, prostatic calcification is often discovered through imaging studies during the examination for prostatic diseases and 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 the cost of magnetic resonance technology, the detection rate of prostatic calcification has significantly increased.
