Patient's question:
This year, I don't know what's going on. I feel like I'm always urinating frequently and urgently. I've started not paying attention to it, but it's gotten worse and worse. Now I'm already having difficulty urinating, with weak urine flow. A few days ago, I went to the hospital for a check-up and found out it's prostate calcification. I don't really understand this condition. Is there any serious impact?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification is the scar left behind after the prostate undergoes recurrent inflammation and fibrosis, and it is a precursor to prostatic calculi. The fibrotic spots in the prostate are often caused by chronic inflammation or prostatic calculi. Prostatic calculi refer to stones formed in the prostate gland or acini, which generally do not cause any symptoms and require no treatment, posing minimal interference to survival—there is no need to worry.For patients with prostatic calcification, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the condition. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
