Patient's question:
I had some frequent urination and urgency a few days ago and was worried that there might be a problem with my prostate. So, I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. The doctor said it's a bit of prostate calcification and inflammation. Could you please advise, doctor? How serious is it like this? Does the prostate calcification get infected?Doctor's answer:
According to your current condition, generally speaking, prostatic calcification is usually caused by recurrent episodes of prostatitis after an initial infection. This can lead to repeated cases of fibrosis and secondary infection of the prostate. It is advisable to take oral medication promptly to alleviate symptoms. Generally, once prostatic calcification occurs, it is unlikely to be infectious. Pay attention to a light diet, avoid spicy foods, and focus on enhancing exercise. When patients face prostate-related issues, we should actively adopt treatment measures and avoid delaying medical consultation. If the prostate condition does not improve with treatment, it is important to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
