What is the meaning of benign prostatic hyperplasia with calcification foci?

Patient's question:

I found benign prostatic hyperplasia during a health check-up at my workplace, measuring 443232mm with fibrosis spots (several bright spots visible inside, one measuring 65mm). Medications haven't been effective, and I want to know what benign prostatic hyperplasia with calcification spots is?

Doctor's answer:

Prostatic hyperplasia with calcification spots is a scar left behind after the prostate undergoes secondary inflammation and fibrosis. According to urological experts, improper diagnosis of prostatic hyperplasia can lead to the recurrence of prostatic hyperplasia with calcification spots. Prostatic hyperplasia with calcification spots is more common in middle-aged and elderly men over the age of 50. Early symptoms include frequent urination, increased nocturia, difficulty urinating, and weak urine flow. In the late stage, severe symptoms may reappear, such as frequent urination, urgency, difficulty urinating, even inability to urinate, abdominal distension, and palpable full bladder. During treatment, it is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle and adopt a proper diet.
